Hi all,
Just after a little advice relating to the charcoal canister in a HJ.
The ute was built in '75, I am putting a black EFI 202 (VK) motor in it...
Can I legally ditch the char. canister due to the utes build date? What emissions stuff do I HAVE to keep?
Thanks all
Void

The only way to be 100% sure is to contact the rego authorities in your state. Well worth the phone

Canister fitment is a bit of an anomoly.

Thanks guys.. Dr Terry, I am pretty much being lazy I guess - while cleaning up the engine bay it is simply easier to remove and chuck the cannister then relocate it.

You can get around the VK rules by only using the HJ block with all the EFI crank, etc., and as Terry says the canister does not harm performance so why bother? If you leave it off you leave yourself open to any road patrolman to pull you over and and iss
