Why haven't you deleted the charcoal canister yet? If you are doing all of this?
The early euro charcoal canister is smaller and lighter though, if someone reading is looking to save space and weight. You’ll need to disable DMTL heater if you’re running a US tune I think but that’s it.

edit: it just occurred to me that this is one of the reasons the CSL is lighter. No DMTL pump, heater and perhaps a smaller canister.Last edited by Bry5on; 09-21-2026, 06:47 PM.‘02 332iT / 6 | ‘70 Jaguar XJ6 electric conversion

I've finished a charcoal evap system removal/delete. I've posted pictures of an m3 canister and 3 series. On a M3 you will only have 1 line coming from the engine bay. Reg 3 series will have 2. On the M3, it is routed from the evap purge valve to the charcoal canister. I removed the evap purge valve, removed the lines/connections. I also removed the charcoal canister, the canister itself has a vent. That is deleted, the fuel tank also has a vent. That is being retrofitted, with a 5/8 x 3/8 ID hose barb reducer. You then attach 3/8 fuel hose to the barb, make a few loops and place a fuel filter on the end of your new vent hose. :thumbsup: edit, you will have to drop the gas tank to do this mod, correctly and completely. You can then code out the evap pump, that connects to the bottom of the intake manifold. zero emissions issues.Originally posted by Bry5on View Post
