I am very leery of the idea for that very reason.   The factory setup routed 
the hose through a charcoal-filled canister on the passenger side of the car, 
and a second hose then went from the canister to the air filter.   A short 
hose from the tank directy to the air filter might be an invitation to 
disaster....
