Solenoid In Vac Line Between Intake And Carbon Canister

[Randon_I_Am]

as above, there is this solenoid sitting just behind the factory BOV with a vac line going to the intake manifold and one going to the carbon canister.

I had a beark in the vac line and when i went to replace it the PLASTIC nipple on the soleniod broke off...

I've got both lines blocked off, and just wondering if anyone knows what this does exactly?

It purges the canister... Vents at various points etc.

If you find it a challenege to remove the carbon canister setup correctly OR dont want to do it for legal reasons, replace the bit you broke.

Sorry to bump an old thread.

Can someone please elaborate on the correct removal of the carbon canister and legalities of this?

Cheers!

Legalities? It's illegal to not run one. Simple

[RBceffy25]

OK I'll ask again, clearer this time.

Can the carbon canister be removed and/or relocated legally?

[Trozzle]

I can't see why relocating it would be illegal.

[RBceffy25]

Yea, I wouldn't think so. I just wanna clean up as much stuff as i can in the engine bay to make it look as clean as possible.

I run my cannister under the front guard on the drivers side
