Evap/Emissions System Question

[infernosg]

Yep, the canister stores air and fuel vapor from the fuel tank until it's sucked into the engine through the purge control valve. The gas tank vents through the "check-and-cut" valve. If the canister will cut down on the gas vapor vented to the atmosphere I'll keep it since I don't want a fire hazard in the garage. If not, it's a waste of weight and I'll remove everything back to the check-and-cut valve.
