OK so heres the deal. i took all of my sensors and hoses and evap tank off the car and bypassed everything because where i live i don't have to pass emissions. i rerouted the throttle body hoses back into themselves. so heres my questions. the line that comes from the gas tank to the evap tank i blocked off so is that ok to do? and is there any precautions i should take from doing what i did? the car still runs great without all this stuff on it. any input on the subject would be much appreciated. thanks.
 
i would unblock the evap tank as soon as possible because when gas sits in your tank for a long time, temperature changes can cause condensation to contaminate the fuel and pull alcohol out of it. This condensation can internally rust your fuel lines and tank and even force you to replace them. Rust scales can also fall into the gas, fouling your filter or fuel pump. During the winter, contamination from condensed water can cause even more problems by freezing your gas lines and stopping your engine. Bacteria have also been known to breed in condensed water where old gas is stored. the evap tank helps prevent all this.
 
well can i hook it up to something else and or can i put a filter on the end of it or something?
