Charcoal Canister Delete?

[cody at 5000tq.com]

This is another area where vast improvements are being made. Most cars  
these days have a system that either seals the gas tank while filling  
(many Fords **NO LONGER HAVE A GAS CAP!!!***) or uses a fan/pump to  
draw the fumes in to the charcoal canister during filling.
