It's the 3-way valve that would make my abreviated system work.

Thanks Hans, I think I'll stick my nose in my shop book and see what I can figure out from the diagram if they have one. Thought I would ask to find out the popular arrangement that would come closest to the original system intent without the cannister and without resorting to a hokey compromise.
Thanks, DJ

DJ: If you don't get a 'real' response, get back to me. The stuff on my car is disabled, with the parts sitting in a box.
Also note that gas odors are typically noticed around the air inlet to the carbs after engine shutdown - especially if it's quite hot! |

I finally got around to finding the source of unwanted gas fumes in the rear R/H engine bay of my '78 308 GTS. It is cracked vent hoses leading from the top of the gas tank to what I believe is the water separator discribed in a previous thread. I can't find the thread so here goes the question again.
The Charcol cannister has been removed and I have a stray hose leading from the top of the water separator to the fire wall by the cooling sys. surge tank. There the end of the hose was plugged with a bolt. There is also a one-way check valve in this line.
QUESTION; How can I best utilize what is left of this system to recover the raw fumes from the tank that (I assume) went to the charcol cannister.
1. Run the hose to the tube on the under side of the aircleaner.
2. Set the one-way valve to allow the fumes to escape from the tank only or allow intake of fresh air only into the tank.
3. Eliminate the check valve all together.
4. Plug the hose.
I would like to get this system to function somewhat the way it was originally designed without the charcol cannister but I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish in the first place.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you, DJ
