Is there any reason to just move the vent away from the fuel filler all together? similar to the diff breather mod?
tail lights are LED bars, Not sure I love them but they were a good price so Ill stick with them for now till I discover something I love
I put on a lower style hitch in the beginning and your right, super funky. Ill likely fab a strait across one just below the flat bead. I know it will look better this way I'm just unclear as to how much of a drop hitch I'll need for it to be use able. I don't want to end up like those guys who jack up there truck 2 feet then tryand tow a boat with a dinky drop hitch
Well I do believe its a system that is all tied into the fuel tank and EVAP to recirculate the vapor. However I'm unsure if moving the vent off the filler would set a CEL light and somehow confuse the system. I know that once the EVAP gets disturbed or broken it certainly does.
Its a pretty sensitive system that's for sure. That is the main reason I stuck with the original routing just longer hoses.
It is a very efficient EVAP system and works really well. So My advice is to try and emulate the factory routing as best as you can.
(BTW not that this matters but, I'm a full time auto tech and co-owner of an independent garage.) So I have dealt with this system on many Toyota's. One issue some of the other models have is people topping off when filling up and gas will enter the EVAP canister and ruin it that way. So when I called the dealer we buy parts from about my own truck he told me that, knew what I was talking about and had one in stock. That tells you a lot. When they keep the parts in stock I mean.
That is truly the one draw back from the flat bed is coming up with a suitable modification for the filler. I called UTE Beds and asked them what they did and he told me that they keep them in the stock location. I realized that there beds are much much higher than mine and yours. So it likely works for that bed. But with how I built mine and how yours is, the thing needs some thinking to make it reliable and work well.
But Id like to know what you come up with... I just wanted to give you a heads up about it being to low and getting water in.
I have to buy a new EVAP canister now. My birthday is coming so up emission time, and I found out about this issue the hard way...
I hope you don't think I'm forcing the issue to much just trying to be informative.
