I just pulled the one that was on my 73 fastback because the thing is
*completely empty* and the strap that holds it to the wheel well has rusted
through...I'm going to connect the input and output tubes to complete the
vapor return circuit, but other than that I'm not going to worry about it.

Subject: [T3] Charcoal Fuel Filter
Hi Everyone,
On the weekend Nico and I went for a drive and have been noticing this
Fastback parked in a driveway a couple blocks over for some time
now....well
the people just happened to be outside since they were having a garage sale
and they had the car for sale! It's a 71 just like ours, it also has auto
transmission. We were hoping it had some good fenders on it (since ours are
taking a lot of fibreglass and bondo abuse at the moment) but on close
inspection of the car it's fenders were just as bad in the same areas....if
we had enough space to store it I know it would be an awesome parts car.
One thing we did notice (and heard it being talked about on the news group)
was the charcoal fuel filter under the left fender. When we pulled the
fender off ours a month and a half ago there was nothing there but
unconnected line. So my question is....is this really a necessary device?
Does the car need this filter? or in Nico's words "is there a hokey
solution
around it possibly involving ducttape and paperclips?" hehe.
