Ok so you have 3 hoses in the engine bay. pressure, return, and the vapor hose. What did you guys do with the vapor hose? leave it dangling, plug it, or connect to something?

I removed the steel line. So I have a rubber hose dangling from my charcoal canister in the back. I can smell a faint gas smell in the garage sometimes. I don't think anything can be sucked into the fuel through the charcoal, so I'll leave it that way until I'm told otherwise.

can't you remove it and cap it at the gas tank ?

well really that is supposed to vent the gas tank, if you cap it off theoretically lots of vapor pressure will build up in the tank. Usually like tyson did you just leave the hose dangling somewhere, the only drawback is the smell of raw gas sometimes. Just wanted some opinions on what people have done.

I have it vented now, but I did have it capped. All that happened was a loud swoosh when i took the gas tank cap off.
