Re: Running without charcoal canister?

When the car is not running, the canister absorbs fuel vapor from the gas tank. Without it, you will smell gas fumes under the car. When the car is running, the fuel vapors with filtered air is absorbed from the canister into the intake. Without the canister, you will have unfiltered air going into the intake (dirt, dust, particles?) I would leave it on until you get a new one.
