I guess my point is, what is the affect on the gas tank pressures/vacuum if removed? Along with a stock ECUs predetermined calculations for lean/rich when it commands a purge, much like EGR...

With all of the threads concerning charcoal canisters on this site, you pick a thread NOT concerning them to ask a question that's been asked (and answered) 2 dozen times here to make your first post....?
I recommend making a proper intro thread and using the search function afterwards.
