charcoal canistor

I have a broken line on the charcoal canistor(I think). The previous owner seemed to have put some glue on it previously. What's the best way to fix it? Could I just glue it back on?

Sure you could. Use an epoxy though, something strong. Super glue and gorilla glue don't work too well on plastics.

Another solution would be to screw in a small threaded barb fitting.

And ignore all the people that will post after me telling you to remove the charcoal cansiter. You obviously want to fix it right, so stick with that.

Yeah, that canister is just extra weight, ditch it and gain 10hp! lol

Actually, while you could use JB weld to fix it, but I'll bet someone on this forum has a canister they're not using, just try posting a "part wanted" thread, especially in your local sub-forum.

Thanks guys! I should have found it to be broken earlier to get the free replacement from AGreen
