EVAP Question?????

[nightracer91]

Okay, I just pulled out my EVAP and EGR systems from my 1G. I pulled off the charcoal canister too obviously. Do I need to cap off the vent line (Line from gas tank to charcoal canister)?

There are varying opinions on this. Personally I believe it should be vented. Here is a discussion regarding the topic with both points of view. It becomes relevant starting in post #6.

From personal experience, i opt to vent it. When i didn't have mine vented, my gas tank was EXTREMELY pressurized. I vented the line, and i haven't had a single issue since. What i did though was to pop a silicone line on and direct it down under the car (but away from the exhaust of course).

It must be vented, I don't know how you got "it can go both ways" from reading that thread!

Why are old guys always so picky? Agreed though.

Definatly vent it. Just have it dangle down under the car a bit.
