Removing Evap Canister?
Can the evap canister be removed with no bad side effects. It looks very similar to the ones that came on my motorcycles, I would just remove it and vent the tubes to air.
Thanks

Pretty sure its a closed loop so you can't just remove it and leave the hoses hanging. There should be a way to get rid of it though and close the loop and still not have the sensors flash a code.

Well for what it's worth - I pulled evap can down to install a skid plate over it..and then bolted it back up. I did unhook all the connectors then made sure to get them re-connected. There is an o-ring around the large white'ish connector make sure it's sealed. Here's the problem I ran into...about a week after I installed it I get a check engine light and the message that says "GAS CAP" I check the forum and find some say it could be because I don't have the o-ring sealed correctly. I re-checked the connections and to best of my ability I have it all correct.
It is now in at a great Jeep dealership who 1) replaced the gas cap 2) ordered a new evap can and sensor fitting. Said it'll take a couple days to get it in everyone was out of stock near me. I did disclose obviously I couldn't hide it that I had pulled it down in order to get the skid on so I was concerned naturally about warranty issues. The dealership is taking care of me and it's all under warranty
Just thought I'd toss that out. Sorry for the long story.

in a short answer no, besides getting a gascap and engine light, you will have trouble filling your gas tank, 1 the pump shutting off to soon and not shutting off at all and spilling gas all over

Brett is a sponsor of the forum, so be certain to mention you're a member--there may still be a discount.
BTW: That part about drilling underneath the Jeep is outdated--I've installed three of these kits and you can do the drilling from above. If you wheel in mud like I have, you'll appreciate that!
