Why not just block the line from the fuel tank that goes to the charcoal canister? No fuel vapour loss then Wink

bad thing-

charcoal cannisters do a number of things:
-they catch fuel vapour
-they vent the fuel tank to (thru the engine where it is burnt)
-they allow the tank to vent excess gas pressure
-they allow petrol vapour to return to the tank where it migth condense back to liquid
-they drain off non-petrol vapour (as condensate where possible)
-prevent gasses that refuse to condense from venting to the atmosphere
-prevent petrol fumes venting from the warm tank from excaping to the atmosphere

some of these thing occur when the thank is cold/ warm and when the motor is running, not running, cold or warm.

search the tech library for connection diagrams - the manifold line from an EFI cannister should connect to just about any port on the manifold after the throttle

cannisters from EFI cars usually have a valve arrangement in the cannister so the engien only gets 'emptied' into the engine at high rpm. they also have valve on the inlet to prevent the tank from seeing high vacuum.
