Question on gas tank vent for a 1973 Cuda

[jmkdopkins]

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a 1973 Cuda, and there is a loose hose under the hood. The previous owner said it was the gas tank vent. Apparently the car originally came with a charcoal canister or something that this vent hose ran into it.  I would like to know more information about this, and possibly get this canister system so the hose isn't loose.  See the attached picture.  Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

some EPA regulation

I just ignored it for 20 years, then replaced the gas tank with a fuel cell.

Thanks guys!  I appreciate the information.  It sounds like there is no urgency in getting this canister system, so I could just leave the hose as is.  But I will probably look for these canister parts.

ya, can't hurt to have the gas tank vented anyway.
