Hmm.. well after hard driving and I go to fill up, I open the cap and it sucks in enough air to make me say "WTF".

 

Yep...thats the "Oh ****, I'm glad I didnt implode my gas tank..." remark.



So I'm wondering if maybe my charcoal canister is bad somehow, or well, dubbya tee eff?

 

no they actually want a slight vacuum there, as long as its not sucking the tank shut* its fine

* the 83's have a bullitin and a new charcoal cannister just for this

 

listen here pussies, haha! something must be truely different between our cars because i don't have a thing filtering the air from my tank and i don't smell a damn thing, even when i tried....? i dunno

 

maybe your gas is frozen

 

You tried huffing your gas?

 

I just left the canister in place connected to the vent line, no gas smell except when the car is idling

 

Interesting. Someone had posted a while ago about a valve by the tank, but I was never sure since I never took out my canister. I thought maybe it was this, since it looks like the line from the canister goes through this before the tank. But again, I wasn't sure

 

Isn't that the brake porportioning valve??



swooosh--

 

no you moe! the ppv is near the master cylender. its the shut off valve for when the car rolls over, it stops fuel from leaking out of the tank.....
