This line that runs from the charcoal canister to the tank has a connection or two pieces to make the run to the tank. We unscrewed the back have section and blew compressed air and checked with two people - this section was clear but the from section to the canister was clogged up. We sprayed a little carb cleaner in at both ends and blew more air going both directions. A good amount of gunk came out both ends. Use a rag at each end to catch the gunk when blowing the air. Problem solved. We also swapped out the original hoses in the trunk to the gas tank and canister just to be sure. It sure is nice now to have no gas fumes in trunk. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_111048" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_113133" dir="ltr">Hope this helps.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_112437" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_112431" dir="ltr">1973 MGB with air pump removed, anti run on valve and charcoal canister still in place.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_112435" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_112433" dir="ltr">Regards</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_113135" dir="ltr">Joel Martin, original owner<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429791418085_102906"><span></span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: garamond, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Wednesday, April 22, 2015 2:32 PM, "mgs-request@autox.team.net" <mgs-request@autox.team.net> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container">----- Forwarded Message -----<br><br>Send Mgs mailing list submissions to<br> <a ymailto="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net" href="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net">mgs@autox.team.net</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/mgs" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/mgs</a><br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> <a ymailto="mailto:mgs-request@autox.team.net" href="mailto:mgs-request@autox.team.net">mgs-request@autox.team.net</a><br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> <a ymailto="mailto:mgs-owner@autox.team.net" href="mailto:mgs-owner@autox.team.net">mgs-owner@autox.team.net</a><br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of Mgs digest..."<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
