there is a STREAM of liquid "gas, premix, mold smelling liquid, oil, smelling stuff" runing out of the charcoal canister. I started to smell it when geting off the highway. I have no clue why this would happen. I need help.

ps this is my every day driver so i need a fix FAST.

 

Hmmm, the charcoal canister is made for venting the gas vapors from the tank. Maybe you had really thick gasoline? Do you have your oil pan vent hooked up to it? I do because I got rid of my rats nest.

 

It sounds like your emission systems is not working right. Normally, most of that stuff is sucked into the engine to be burned off. If something was plugged or not routed correctly, it would just sit and accumulate in the charcoal canister. Eventually, it'll start spewing.

If I were you, I'd just remove it, and vent it at the tank. If you're going ot do that, you might as well get rid of all of your emissions junk on your car, I have emissions in CO, but 50 bucks passed my car as almost a 0 emissions vehicle.

 

there is no emissions on my car..... well except the charcoal canister and half a cat.

I'll re-do the connections to the block and get new fuel line. It looks like its that time.

When I was small, it was the cool thing to drink in Japan. Everyone was drinking it, and it was more the fascincation with the stupid marble more than anything else.

Almost any "Asian" market should be able to get it. In Honolulu, Marukai market (need membership, like Costco) sells like a dozen different kinds. Shirokiya also carries them, but it's not stocked all the time. Daiei might have them.

To me it tastes like 7Up/Sprite with a twist. No biggie...I'm not a soda drinker anyways.
