What is this and how can I relocate it??

I took mine out also. I just unbolted it and tucked the lines in the core support. Haven't had any problems and its been done for a year or so probably.

I will have to do that then

Why would you want to allow dirty air to be sucked into the fuel tank? or it not vent properly and possibly blow up? UGH

uummm hello we already stated that point...

how is it going to blow up when it's open and can vent freely NON stop?????????

2nd you use a filter on the end and then it gets clean air not dirty.

Or just connect the lines together so it goes like normal minus the canister

Mine has been missing since (very likely) years before I acquired the truck, but if you want to pass emissions, you'll need it. Pretending there is even the remotest danger of explosion is... well.. unlikely. Extremely unlikely, so I'd say thats being a little dramatic.

my thoughts exactly the can has like a 2 psi valve built in so it builds pressure before it opens to let the fumes vent into the tbi unit or carb on older trucks, so if there's any risk of explosion I'd be thinking that.

My old mans truck has not vented properly since he woned it, with the can and now without, it'd build pressure in the tank and you unscrew the cap and the tank would fart. Seriously the flapper valve/door for the filler neck with vibrate back and forth and sound like it was farting.

I removed the charcoal can on it and it's not been as bad since.

And you think that removing the canister is gonna cause the end of the world right?

I'm not saying I think its a good idea... but pretending that removing it poses an explosion risk is basically fear-mongering. If you can support your claim with anything resembling sound reasoning I'm all ears, but my truck came to me without one, and I've yet to have it explode, and if it were possible I would think we'd have heard of documented cases of it.
