Charcoal canister being boosted
 

I just realised that I've got no one way valve on my charcoal canister and it has been getting boost for years. My car has always had a fuel smell after a firm drive, I guess this could be why. :giggle:

Also, my mileage totally sucks, but I doubt this is contributing to it.

I'm fitting the one way valve today, I'll post back in a week or so and let you know the results.

Anyone else here been running like this?

Wow I never thought about that... Where did you get this one way valve?

It's a fairly standard thing at an automotive store, or you could grab one from a wrecked factory boosted car. My MSM had one. I think you yanks call it a check valve.

Yes, check valve. I have one, which reminds me I need to pull it off to include with the turbo kit I just sold!

Hey, I'm Canadian damnit.

Sucks to be you. I feel for you.

I feel your mom.

Ohh zing!

Charcoal canister? You still run that thing? I deleted mine when I went standalone.

lol charcol canister.

first thing I ripped off my car. That spot now holds a catch can.

i was lucky enough to find a watch under mine when i pulled it. i'm still on stock ecu and still no check engine light.

Pretty sure on OBD1 as long as the solenoid is still hooked up you wont get a CEL.

i don't think you'll get a CEL with it unplugged...

Brain Check your PM's please I'm in need of diy pnp

I was hoping you'd remember that! ;-)
