>I noticed yesterday the carbon canister is missing from my car. There are
no apparent hoses to route to the canister. I know the canister is part of
the emission equipment, but are there any performance/running problems I
may
encounter with the canister removed? Last Thursday the car was running
great, yesterday it wouldn't start. <
A properly functioning canister will have no effect on the drivability and
runnung of the car. A stuck float is a stuck float whetner or not you have
a canister.
The evaporative loss system will maintain the fuel freshness for longer
periods of time if the car sits idle. You can park a TR6 for 6 months to a
year with no fuel degradation problems but a TR3 will have sour fuel after
this period of time unless you use Sta-Bl of something like it in the fuel.
