72 EEC gas tank change
I am replacing my 1972 stock EEC gas tank to the non EEC tank. Is there any issues with that? I do not think my emission control people would object (or care). I will check with them first but the main reason I am doing this is to get a way from the charcoal canister and all the tubing that goes with it. Has anyone done this? Is there a benefit to keep it?

Re: 72 EEC gas tank change
You wouldn't have to change the tank. You could just pull everything off. Then cap the vent line on tank and get a vented gas cap.
Only benefit is to Mother Earth!

Probably wouldn't make a difference to Mother Earth either. I'm betting it hasn't worked for 20 years, unless regular maint. has been performed on it. The charcoal in the canister gets hard after a few years and the whole system is useless... Just my 2¢ worth. LockDoc
