The "carb bowl" designation is used in carberated engine applications only (not DeLorean). Leaving the cap off will reduce fuel vapor reclamation but will not effect engine performance. If you want to be kind to the environment you should cap the spigot. Rubber caps for the foregoing application are available at most auto supply stores.

Hello All, Today, I set out to fix my loose power antenna bracket.. and upon removing the charcoal canister, there was a dry-rotted rubber cap on a fitting on the top of the canister labeled "CARB BOWL". The rubber cap was too rotted to keep... so my question is, should I find a replacement? Does it serve any purpose? What happens if I leave it off? Thanks in advance, -Hank #1619 Your use of Yahoo!
