I dunno, I prefer to keep it. Stuff has to evaporate somewhere, it's best to have it evaporate through the charcoal canister.



Maybe you could just relocate it if you need the space for something?

I could try and relocate it, i'll have to look for space tommorow. I really dont want to get rid of it, but where its at i think it'll just get in my way when i finish up my newest project next week i'll know for sure.

If you find a good solution for eliminating it that doesnt result in a car that always smells like gas / fills the garage with the odor of gasoline, let me know. I would love to eliminate it too, but I appreciate what it does so.. for now, I keep it

I figured out where to relocate it to. Just have one question, will normal vaccum line work for this?

As far as i can tell there shouldnt be a problem with it sitting here. It is a little close to the fan but it doesnt get in the way.

When you do mount it with the bracket you probably want it sitting vertically like it was before. That tube coming out the bottom is a overflow.
