Re: questions about the elimination of EEC canister in 72
1. Yes you can use your original tank.
2. No you do not need a single tube sending unit. 3. Yes only 1 line and either 5/16 or 3/8 line depending on what engine you have you can use your line that is feeding your fuel pump now, unless it is rusted and has holes in it. 4. I am using my orginal cap and I have had no issues, because it is a vented system already, that is what the extra line is going up into the cab.  5. You can but why worry about it? You can't see it and mine never smells the cab up, so I don't really see the need to pull it out. Hope this helps!!

Re: questions about the elimination of EEC canister in 72
I couldn't have said it better myself B&B.
When I was redoing my fuel system in my 1972 I even took out all the Evap lines that ran along the frame rails, and blocked them off at the tank. Still have the original filler neck, have a stock unvented cap, and left the stuff in the cab and door jamb alone. No sweat...  Gary

Mine is still hooked up in the cab but it is blocked off by the fuel pump.
