Default Parallel Fuel Rail Conversion & FPR Questions

Hi Guys,

Just in the middle of converting my 93 classic into top feed parallel fuel rails, but i have a query regarding the carbon canister plumbing.....

Seems there is a feed from the top of the throttle body, that goes into a metal pipe under the inlet manifold, then into the carbon canister, then from the carbon canister under the manifold, into one of the three fuel pipes?

Is the above correct, and what can you do to remove this bit, does there need to be three fuel pipes? Or do I just Tee the two return pipes and plumb that into the the FPR?

its just a vent to keep to petrol smell out of the car, no fuel runs down the 3rd line. it draws the vapour to the canister via the throttle boddie.

Spot on, was thinking about doing that, but wasn't sure if that would work... But I'll shorten the pipe and bung the valve on the end of it.

Just gotta figure out which one of the three pipes it was now
