Removal of Charcoal Canisters (fuel tank vents) okay?

[Andy Bettencourt]

Yup, nothing is in there that allows the removal of any 'fuel tank/system' emmisions. Basically, any emmission device attached to your exhaust system is all you can touch IIRC.

I 100% agree that if you put in a fuel cell, you can remove that and it's compnents and replaced with the cell and what it needs to function.

Yay! I'm not a dipshit this time...!

the roll cage rules for IT are now part of this right?

ROLL CAGES FOR GT AND PRODUCTION BASED CARS

So my IT car is a "Production" based car, right?

So then I can remove the canister per this right?

Factory installed gas tank evaporative emission control devices must be removed from all Production and GT Category cars.

Good try, but...nope.

When referring to the rollcages, it's actually read as "production based cars" (or, more accurately, "production-based"; note lower case, referring to a description of the vehicle); when referring to the evap systems it's "Production" (note capitalized pronoun, referring to a specific category).

It *was* a good try, though.

But, if it's legal to remove evap system with a fuel cell, and given IT is not required to conform to GCR fuel cell specs, then you can declare your stock tank a "fuel cell" and do whatever you want with it...

Just remove the damn thing. No one gives a flying flip.

I had my charcoal canister removed from back in the day when I raced in the long dead SE-R Cup. I remember that my brother and I yanked that thing in the pits, sealed the lines and went racing.

I am in ITA now. I doubt that anyone gives a darn about the canister, anyway.

Opinions may vary...

My Cannister (long gone) was connected to the air filter housing for the stock carb. (Its purpose is to capture gas vapors when the car is shut off and cleanse them--not sure if they really work).

Accordingly, it was removed since ITCS D 1 c permits the removal of air cleaner assemblies..and all kinds of oter stuff (including housings, etc) located ahead of the carb. It was in front of the carb, albeit inside the left fender.

"Etc" is a good enough excuse.

YMMV

The context of this thread is fuel tank 'emissions'.

[joeg]

Andy--Charcoal cannisters are also connected to fuel tanks.

And that is the point. There is no provision in the rules to remove them.
