Charcoal canister- how does it work - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks for this posting and its information!

My canister was plugged up - at the fitting where the spring & rubber membrane are at. My brother was debugging some fuel things and it lead him to this canister. He ended up just leaving the connections off after he gave up on trying to figure it out.

Sadly, my brother put the top, spring, retainer, and membrane in a bag and the nipple on the top lid got broken off while bouncing around in the box of bigger parts.... grrr. Though to be honest whatever is plugged up in there is not coming out.

Luckily I found one on eBay listed as 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel Vapor Canister (CHARCOAL CANISTER) GM7030605. Was a little pricey but listed as in good shape/etc. So between it and mine - I could rebuild it if I need to.
