i bought my car jdm and someone tried to retro fit a charcoal canister in there did it come with the engine i dunno haha having some problems with performance and this part is a headache dunno what to do

Dude, I am using my ST205 charcoal canister, its HALF the size of the ST185 one, made of plastic too!

Keith, do all the lines route the same as in ST185?

They are not exactly the same, but very similar. I only had to make up a few different short hoses to make it fit becuase the 205 stuff was coming from different directions. Also fabricated the existing bracket to take the 205 canister.

very cool info keith, I want to hit up a boneyard and see if I can pull a canister off a civic or something and compare the size/function. I just want to limit the overall clutter in the bay.

I would assume the ST20x canisters are all the same?

Sorry for the delay, missed this thread.

My filter is a little one with a rubber hose going to it from the fuel line. On the other side of the filter, I ran another rubber hose down into the fender well through a hole that was there. The filter itself is in the engine bay, placed up in that little corner behind the strut tower on the drivers side.

Thanks Chris.

Weight. It's not much, but it's weight, and it's on the front end.

Space is what I need.

and where is the charcoal canister tube ? I know one inthe middle is for the fuel filter and what are these two tubes on the right and two on the left for... and one on the right side of the fender, looks like a plastic tube to me with a breather...



Thanks

I'd like to hear if anyone has ever actually smelt fuel after removing the canister? I never have and I've had it removed for 2 years. People always say that you will have a smell, but are those people that have actually had a smell, or just read that you will have a smell? Maybe it happens on other cars, and people assume it will happen on ours? And who's engine bay is 10000 degrees - i really hope mine isn't

So there is a hose connection bolted to the fender wall inside the bay next to the fuel filter. I took the hose that was connected to the fuel tank, and connected that to the hose on the top of this connector. On that connector is a hard line that just goes to the bottom of the engine bay - which lets it vent out. So, i didn't do anything fancy with a filter and I haven't had any problems. Maybe if i raced my car on dirt in the desert that might be another story, but I think that removing this thing is very simple and it tends to be made into something scary or super complex. Fortunately, my engine is out of the car right now and i can take a pic of what i mean:

there are two lines on the top left, so which one is which...

please help...need to hook up all my fuel lines today...thanks

i remember it being one of them rusty ones in the bottom right area, not the black smaller ones??? but im not all that sure I've only taken it apart once.
