I discovered today that my Carbon Emisions Canister was leaking fumes. On further inspection it looks like someone has had it open before and attempted to reseal it.

Anyway, the fumes were venting into the car so as a temp measure I have removed it and connected the 2no hoses together (its an Import, I believe the Uk has 3no pipes?). The fuel smell seems to have gone away.

My question is: Will I be okay to run like this until a find a replacement and where can I get one new other than the Main Stealer. OOOPPPS I mean Dealer?

I'm pretty sure you can remove it altogther if you have no cat you just need to tee the hoses together with a y piece (but don't quote me )

Done that already. Went for fuel today and the fuel tank was at quite a pressure when I released the cap. This is new!

This okay too?

some people drill a 1mm hole in the fuel filler cap to stop this.I havn't bothered and have had my cannister removed for over a year now with no probs.
