Charcoal Canister Delete?

[speedracer.mark at gmail.com]

Mike, 
They are separate, and PZEV is common in all states, including here in NY.   
Generally speaking, you no longer find "49 state cars," for a variety of  
reasons.
Theoretically, the carbon canister can act also as a spark arrestor, saving  
on fire hazards. If you overfill your fuel system, they can also fill up  
(really hard to do, but theoretically possible),  creating a fire hazard or  
an unmetered source of raw fuel into the engine.

BTW, I bet the firewall on your Cessna 150 has one, albeit unpressurized and  
open to atmosphere.

Cody,


Does this mean if the pump goes bad or the filter gets clogged, you have to  
buy the *whole* sealed 
gas tank assembly with new pump/filter/etc.? 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?


Am I reading this wrong or are those guys in CA nuts?
