hill_bill10 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is it safe to remove them? does it make a difference to emissions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 nah, the activated charcoal is usually way past its best......rip it out and be done with it can also take the two "shiny" plastic pipes off and block the throttle body and blue valve on the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Loop some rubber tubing over it and put a tie clip on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 dont block it upthe pipe coming out of it releases fuel vapour. just vesnt it straight to atmosphere i ran a small tube of vaccum hosing under the car and let it out that way. im guessing blocking it wont do it much good as the whole point of the charcoal filter when new was to release fuel vapour into the filter then the filter wil reduce the level of emissions coming out or something along them lines lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
