Evenin all, question about the old carbon canister.
I think I've had an issue for a wee while, but it's worse and needs fixed asap before I set my old girl near the multistory
Seriously, I am convinced my carbon canister needs replaced as I very often get hissing upon releasing the fuel filler and the air is definitely coming out of the tank (pressurised) as I have felt it.
The smell of raw petrol is worst after leaving the car for a while, inside is bloomin awful and that is thanks to a shower of bastards in Stirling who call themselves "professional" LPG installers I digress. But I still have one hole to fill under the rear seat....
So I can only come up with the carbon canister as the smell is much worse after running on LPG (which I recently reinstated and it runs beautifully). She also seems to use a fair old lump of petrol just starting & stopping (another result of a bad carbon can).
So, it's highly likely this carbon can has never been replaced.
Question is, has anyone done one and am I on the right track?
The reason I think it's worse running LPG is because the fuel initially starts the engine, then is shut off at the injectors, but still gets pumped around the circuit, which includes the carbon can, so fuel is getting hot and not burned off so of course it would involve the CC. Hot fuel creating more vapour causing the likely choked CC to have to vent it off as the tank will only hold so much pressure.
Am I close or talking pish
Where's best place to get a decent replacement then??
