My car doesn't have the original canister let alone anything else emissions related and not much stock. Beyond that the vent line on top of the tank leaks so when I fill the car up, the gas will spill out of the top of the tank. The solution so far has been to avoid filling the car up all the way. Oddly enough there's rarely any fuel smell around the car even with that vent open. Well now after getting stuck on the side of the road again from plugged up fuel filters (EFI), I think it might be time to replace the tank so I don't have to deal with the dirty gas anymore and can take care of that vent issue.
If I go down that road, I'd like to at least be able to fill up the tank. So what do I do with that vent line? This car isn't stock so I'd just assume not add a canister to the engine compartment. I would however be fine adding one somewhere under the car (higher than the tank I assume?) if there's a good place for that. Or can I get away with plugging the vent if I vent the cap or something like that?
Thanks
