relocate it.Its the same size as the fender. If i get rid of it will the motor still be as smooth and responsive as it is now. Cause its a daily driver. Plus will it pass emissions? Im in Houston,Texas (Harris County)

I know a guy who threw his away. He says it takes him like 20 minutes to fill the tank now. His was mounted right above the tank though. What is it for any way? Sorry that maybe a stupid question.

if you remove it, it will not pass emissions cuz it will throw a check engine light.

charcoal canister is used to store gas fumes until it can purged back in the intake to be burned. do not trash it. you will not pass emissions with out it. find a place to relocate
