Charcoal Canister Delete?

[Dan DiBiase]

Isn't it amazing that this is the case? That the vapors during the 10-minute fill-up cause more pollution than actually driving the car?
Wow...

Of course, this isn't the case with my '76 MGB. I am making up for my newer cars when I drive it, as the pollution controls have been
deleted..... :-/

And pay for R&R the tank (which is tucked and armored way up above the exhaust system and rear suspension) instead of just the pump or filter? and probably treat the removed parts as toxic waste to be hauled off by guys in moon suits (for $$$$$$ per gas tank) to be disposed of in some "environmentally benign" (more $$$$$$$$$$$) approved way?
