ok so I have spent some time sifting through the forum and would like some clarification. The rubber lines from the fuel tank to the canister? Short line to the T Then line that continues to steel vapor line, got it. But the short piece from the tee, can't remember if I cut it off or if it was like that. I'm assuming it was just there for a vent, but if so should it not have had a filter or something on it? Dam my memory just sucks sometimes. Big smile

After staring at my tank for a few minutes I realized there was another port. Duh! I had painted it black to match the tank and missed it first time.
