SuperSport Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey guys, I wanted to ask if it was necessary to run the Fuel Tank Evaporator Control p# 12573220. How does this thing work ?? It sits sticking straight up off the top of the intake manifold, right behind the throttle body with a plastic tube that comes off it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 If you are going to keep living in CA, then yes, you need it. It is part of the emmisions system, so removing it could result in you failing the visual part of your 'smog inspection'. On the other hand, these guys who do the inspections probably wouldn't miss it. But you truck's computer would complain about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 This is commonly called the "purge canister" or the "vent canister". Basically it recirculates gas fumes back into the manifold so they can be consumed. I'm not sure what it hooks up to at this point, but will know in the next few days ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I was thinking of just removing the sensor, but keeping that hoes that goes back to the tank. By switching the TBSS manifold it looks like they may have eliminated it. It also looks like it may be a pain in the butt to put it back on.

I *think* it hooks up to the fuel tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
