i tried all of the pet stores, both big chain and independents, in my area before i looked at amazon. the pet stores didn't offer the activated charcoal in PELLETIZED form. all i found were expensive big clunky chunks.

Our local fish store (yes, we still have one) has the pelletized form. Enough for 2 fillings. |

Do you have a UPC from the package of pellets, or at least a brand name to look for?
BTW, I weighed the pellets I removed from a plastic unit, and it was exactly 800 grams. Or 1.8 lbs. |

@davep . I got Acurel Extreme Activated Carbon Pellets. 45oz. Www.acurel.com. I think it was $24.99 or so. Clearly enough for two fillings.

Lets keep this going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Since so many cars have been converted to carburators it only makes sense to address how if at all you can still use the evaporative system? I know many people complain about the fuel smell that can permiate thier garage after putting away thier carb'd car. What is the best way to plumb the motor to lessen that effect? Is there one? Edit : whoops! i didnt notice this was in the Originality sub! |

Wow, an 11 year old thread! Jeff had a lot of time on his hands in 2010. I'm trying to put my 74 BB back to as original as possible and it came without a canister or hoses or a bracket. I now have a bracket but I'm wondering if finding a canister is going to be as difficult as finding an AAR valve.

QUOTE(1970 Neun vierzehn @ Aug 26 2011, 07:24 PM) Not all 914s had a charcoal canister. This, from an early '70/4...... That's what my mounting tab looks like. I'm wondering if I have the wrong canister, with the band that goes around the canister, don't make sense for attaching the two together?? |
