Fuel line question
just wondering what I do with the vent line from the fuel tank? do I connect to something? |
I had already done the charcoal can delete on my car, so my vent line is just loose under the car.

Yeah, lots of little things on this swap. I don't have any emissions testing concerns, so pretty free on what I can do/delete.

Alternatively you can hook up the cannister. I used the Miata cannister with the Mustang relay. I really think you’ll want to do that to keep your garage from stinking of gas. You probably already know, but there will be 3 lines from the tank. fuel send, fuel return, and evap. |
I will add that I don’t notice any fuel smell with mine, but either way it really does not matter. My charcoal setup was already gone so I just stuck with that (also adds a little open space on the apron. |
Agree with Brad. It is a good idea to hookup the vent to a Charcoal canister and purge the fumes back into the engine. The V8 setup tends to pressurise the fuel tank slightly more than the 4 cyl setup thereby making more fuelly vapor. Best to capture the vapor, as the car and the garage can smell of fumes if closed up after a long drive and left overnight.
The Miata canister is slightly on the small side to deal with the V8 setup. I am using a GMC Yukon 1998-1999 5.7L canister as its larger with more capacity to sink fumes. cheers |
