Tweek Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've got a cracked vapor canister. It drips fuel into the bedside and is filling the cab with fumes and smell. Can I just loop the lines, bypassing the canister, until I find another one? Anything else I need to do to avoid other issues? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I had a cracked vapor canister on my legacy when I bought it, I used duck tape and it worked until I got a new canister. Acctually it had a hole in it Edited March 18, 2013 by mikaleda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 JB Weld. Just do really good prep and it may last forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I sense autocorrect at work here If your dripping fumes bedside, something is seriously wrong someplace. You can try JB weld. However you shouldnt be dripping liquid out of the chrarcoal canisiter cracked or not. Somehow liquid fuel is getting sucked into the canister where it is just supposed to be fumes.

ShawnW Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Are you sure it isn't plugged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweek Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Not plugged, can see the crack. Not the charcoal canister, that funky black tank in the passenger bedside. Drawing fuel in cause it's cracked? Would love to eliminate it, for now. Guess its time to experiment, just didn't want to stall on the highway cause of some vacuum/pressure etc issue.

Tweek Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Passenger side of a brat bed, inside the removeable panel. Black, plastic tank with multiple hoses. What does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legourde_Nux Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thank God, we're on the same ship......getting info for a complete overhaul of my Brat. Been running mine since 93 and haven't been able to figure out what is this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151289039051536&set=a.10151287049076536.1073741825.633381535&type=3&theater It's some kind of purge valve, should have been connected to that plastic tank you mentioned Tweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
