No noticeable difference in the shifting itself. However, as an overall observation, the transmission & transfer case is much tighter, hence not hearing the loose whine of before. I would have to guess that the transfer case high gear total destruction didn't just happen all at once, but got looser and looser until it gave me the feedback of all the missing teeth.
I see what you did there.
Nice work just don’t try to ever carry that through an airport
Creative. Does it work? Asking for the Feds.
Looks Ca compliant from OH.
Holds about 12 oz of this....so far my shop doesn't smell like a fuel cannister.
Carbon is a non specific adsorber. So fuel will adsorb and fill up pore spaces until no more can adsorb. Then your carbon is spent and needs replacement. Latter is true for most things that would get adsorbed by carbon. However, depending on temperature, fuel can desorb out of the carbon and vaporize to regenerate the carbon. In our trucks the EGR circuit or other vacuum circuit connected to the carbon canister sucks out fuel that desorbs into the combustion chamber. Canister in the engine bay heats us slightly to let fuel out to engine and regenerates the carbon. Your set up may let fuel vapors out at smaller rates and when driving but does not when parked and carbon regeneration happens. Did you smell fuel when driving prior to this change and do you still smell it? Or is it gone?Holds about 12 oz of this....so far my shop doesn't smell like a fuel cannister.

Funny thing, when I removed my 45 year old OEM cannister and left it oh my shop bench over night, the next day the whole place smelled like a gas station! About three years later, it is still sitting outside.
Years ago, I desmogged my 2F, so I was venting the OEM charcoal cannister to atmosphere per Jim C's diagram at the time. Also my OEM fuel tank's bottom was rusted and leaked. So I replaced it with an OEM unit and changed out all the rubber hoses (filler & vapor). That cured the fuel smells for a bit. Now, a few years ago, and few engine up-grades later, I started to smell fuel while driving again. I never could find the cause till I removed the evap cover, wiggled the lines and found I had a broken nipple on the plastic evap. It was at this time the OEM cannister was checked and I decided to remove it. So, I made a few adjustments, installed a four-way connecter in lieu of the evaporator, ran the vent hose down, out the frame and added a 12" long 1/2" hose whip filled with the carbon. This solved my fuel smell....
Where does the chrome cap go in this device?
Initially, I was going to use a ceramic magnet (40# of holding), inside the rear frame rail to hold the cannister. But noticed the rear heater bolts were near by, so opted for a little more secure mounting.
So that sits against the frame rail?
I didn't use the magnet and the cannister is mounted to the passenger side rear heater bolt.
Being where it is located, I'm not worried about the rain.
Like the approach Sir. Might steal the tech for my rig. Thanks for sharing. As always A for Architect!
