Now I just went though my engine bay and fuel system and cleaned it up as well. My s14 came with a KA-t, and the previous owner never touched the fuel emissions gear. I found the vent line from the tank to the canister was filled with charcoal, because of the positive pressure from the turbo. So I decided to delete the canister-to-intake line, and the electronic "vac assy" module. Then I ran the black vac-actuated check valve on the tank vent line, but without a vac line. That check valve requires less than 1psi to crack open (tested with a mityvac) in the flow direction. That allows excess tank pressure to escape. You can run that output side to atmosphere or the charcoal can. Heads uo: gas odors will probably become present in either case.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply! So another quick question then, so the check valve allows for positive pressure in the gas tank to be released, but will the check valve also allow flow in the other direction? If not, how will the negative pressure in the gas tank be equalized?
