Carbon Canister

[Djw Dave]

Hay all.

I removed my carbon canister when i did my turbo conversion, i blocked the return hose to the tabk. Now i am getting pressure build up in the tank, heavy fuel smell and very poor petrol consumption. Is this because of the lack of canister or another underlying problem??

The reason i took it off was that there was no place to put the pipes from the tank onto the engine.

Ideas anyone??

Cheers

I wouldnt of blocked the pipe mate, leave it open to vent the tank otherwise you'll get pressure in the tank as you are now.

Hmmm i did have it unblocked but the fuel consumption was worse and it just wented under the bonnet and the smelt really heavily of fuel

You need to stick the canister back on realy.

Right cool but where would i put the pipes that went into the engine, or do you know where they go on an RSI engine??
