[DeTomaso] Fuel vapor canister/charcoal canister.

[www.ProvaMo.com]

Does the stock canister open in some way for replacement?

(Other than cutting and re-welding).

I'm sure there are a number of stock parts around, which could be reused.

I have one, as part of a "smog" package I put together a while ago.
(Not for sale.)

>>>Well, you don't need a fuel camp that vents (if that is what you are 
suggesting) because the tank itself already has a vent (the outlet that
leads to 
the canister from question 1).   You don't need TWO vents on the tank.

In fact, fuel caps are supposed to *not* vent; that's actually a part of our

smog inspection here in California.
