I just cut my bumper the other day and noticed my evap canister is hanging down pretty low ( just asking to get hit by rocks) anyway has anybody disconnected that whole evap system, and if so did it effect preformance.

You cannot remove it, it is necessary component to properly handle the excess fuel vapors.

However you can move it. I have yet to move mine. It may be a summer project if I get ambitious enough, and I don't break too many things.

What's going to happen your Jeep going to explode?

I have had mine off for about half a year now. Just make sure you plug the line going to the Manifold and the Airbox. Don't plug the other one since it is your gas tank vent.

I have notice absolutly no change in any way to my heep from removing the canister. Just keep it handy to put back on before a I/M test.

Way to tread lightly. :roll:

Did I suggest that his rig would blow to lead you to that presumption? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Disconnecting cats and disabling fuel vapor emission devises does violate federal law. So what you say? We are jeepers and legal wheeling should be just as important as ... well never mind. Listen, we can't all be lucky enough to live in Alaska, so we "southerners" need to ...well never mind, you get the idea.

:eek: whats with the tripple post?

ok take it off. It's useless all it does is collect gas vapor instead of letting it go into the atmosphere. Thing is the amount of gas vapor coming from your gas tank is very low. It's nothing to worry about, you MIGHT get a hard time from emitions people but just keep it, mines been off for over a year.

I don't know what happened...If someone kindly advise how to delete them, or if a mod will do so...

I agree that the first choice should be trying to be eco-friendly and retain the canister. Venting raw gas fumes into the atmosphere is not a good thing for the planet.

ChrisWJ from Kentucky simply rotated his 90 degrees and said it worked fine.

I installed a TC intake to both move the intake higher and to create space in the engine compartment. The area vacated by the stock air box leaves plenty of room for the canister. I just haven't had much time for Jeep projects lately.

I have read that alot of people have hit and destroyed the cans on there rig and nothing has happened. So go for it, I am going to leave it there for now even with the trimmed bummper.

Yeah, I'm one of them. Mine is completely destroyed. Hasn't thrown a code or anything, but when the Jeep is idling warm (and possibly other times, but this is the only time I notice it), it makes this "sucking sound" that is consistent with engine RPM. It's actually quite annoying, especially for a perfectionist like me.

I might just bypass it to get rid of the sound, since I live in WY and don't have emissions, but I know this isn't exactly eco-friendly. But hey, I'd replace it if I could find one. Dealerships don't have em and ebay has been unsuccessful thus far.

If I did bypass it, I think the best way to do it would be to plug the throttle body line, and just leave the fuel tank line open to atmosphere. That would prevent the fuel tank pressure buildup that everyone seems to talk about. Am I correct in my thinking?

Holy dredging-up-an-old-thread Batman!

Plug the hoses if you want to eliminate the sucking sound. And instead of e-bay go to a junkyard if you want a replacement cannister.

Yeah sorry about the resurrection, it's just you're walking a knife's edge. You resurrect an old thread and they tell you it's old, but you start a new thread and they tell you to search. Figured this was less prone to flak.

Anyways, it would be my guess that the sucking sound is coming from the throttle body line, correct? I mean, there are three lines: gas tank, throttle body, and atmospheric vent.

However, people recommend plugging the lines and then complain about fuel tank pressurization. I just thought that if you left the gas tank line open to atmosphere, would that not prevent the fuel tank from pressurizing??? THen you'd just plug the throttle body line and you're good to go.

I guess what I am asking is my theory correct, and if not, why not? Why would you plug off all the lines instead of venting the tank???
