Please correct me if I am wrong. Even if you ran the hose to the rear does the hose still not run over the top of the gas tank?
:hun: That's the whole point of what you want to achieve, isn't it?!? :dontknow: .
The OE cannister version effectively has an overflow that directs & collects any excess/expanding fuel that might escape from the
top of the tank
DOWN & into the (dry) activated charcoal filled cannister, where fumes are meant to be trapped, but any actual liquid (like raw fuel or condensate from heavy fumes due to an over-filled or hot tank ) will contaminate the charcoal & fill the cannister - meaning that it's now effectively a loosely lidded bucket of raw gas sitting their wauiting to get hot/catch a spark & even if it doesn't, it'll always smell of gas & never work properly again anyway! And if you over-fill your gas tank more than once, or if it gets hot enough to create sufficient fumes in the tank, then that 'bucket' can possibly even over-flow raw fuel out onto things that you really might prefer it not to - ie. hot &/or sparky things!! :shocked:
The whole point of a 'cannisterectomy' is to remove this potential source of raw fuel & fumes from the vicinity of anything hot &/or sparky, and to remove the 'no longer working' drowned & possibly full cannister that'll always stink of gas & be an ignition risk anyway.... Sooo, by running the replacement hose
FORWARDS from the top of the tank, it
still puts any potential overflow &/or fumes out in front of all the hot &/or sparky things where it could flood/run/drip back & create a rather embarrasing (& hot) issue for you; while running that 'cannisterectomy' hose from the top of the tank to the
REAR of the Spyder, you are putting all that stuff that can cause problems & gas fumes behind you! :thumbup:
Make sense?? :dontknow:
Over to you. :cheers:
