| Post subject: | Charcoal Canister Question |
Hi Guys.. If the Charcoal canister is off the fender and you shake it should you hear bits of "stuff" rattle in the can like a Maraca? the One on my duster is sounds like a shaker when I rattle it.. I was not sure if it sould be like that or not.. If not does anyone know where i can find a new one? Thanks, Greg |

Mine have never rattled. Unless you are trying to keep it stock, I suspect you can use any can off a car with the same number of tube hooks ups. Mine had three. I added one to my 69 off a later model car, just to try and hold down the smell of gasoline around the car. That was pretty much a failure since the tank had a vent in it then.  Sam |

Thanks Sam.. I do need it to be stock appearing.. I think I will just get one at the Junk yard with the same number of ports - Also will be looking for a non baby rattle type. Greg |

Greg, Time to replace as the particles will clog up the carb after a while.My truck has two of them and the "bag" let go and made a mess cloging up the idle curicut,starting out as a ruff idle then getting worse till it no longer would idle.Pulled the carb and it looked like coffee grounds inside. If you fine a source for replacement let us know. |

I got the truck smogged before it all happened and you can use compressed air to blow the canister out getting all the "grounds" out so it will pass visual inspection. |

Get a new charcoal can; a used one is likely to be as bad (or almost so) as your existing one. Emptying out the charcoal and running an empty can is an unwise idea; not only will it create a fire hazard under the hood, but also a working can saves you money by trapping gasoline that would otherwise float uselessly off into the air. Chrysler P/N 4723 551 is a 4-port service replacement for many '80s-'90s applications and can readily be adapted to earlier cars. You need two vent-in ports ("Bowl" or "Carb" and "Tank"), and one purge-out port ("Purge"). Plug any unused ports. |

Rockauto has the 4723 551 under a 1993 Chrysler Imperial for 89.79 just so you guys know. |

Actually, RockAuto has the Standard CP3167, which is that brand's cross ref from the Chrysler number. Decent price, and it includes the purge valve. |

Thanks for the references and part#'s How woud this work on my 79 duster with an EFi retrofit?? I currently have a 3 port can (that needs replaced) But since the carb is long gone I Have the "bowl"' port plugged.. The "tank" port still goes to the tank and the "Purge" port goes to Engine Vacuum. Greg |

The can mentioned in this thread has a built-in purge valve right on top. Hook it up in accord with discussion here. |
