I have tried to find further information on this subject and if I am correct the active carbon canister to absorb fuel vapour was not installed on buses as described by M-Code 026.
M-Code 026 Description with activated carbon canister to absorb fuel vapour,
Model, All, 1968-1972, USA-California
Model, 21-23, 1967-1976 Japan
Model, 21-23, 1976-1978, Australia.
It seems that this was not installed on European buses.
Does someone have the correct indications on how to install the fuel vent lines on a 1974-75 1.8 Type 4 Engine Dual Bus Carb without charcoal canister?
My Euro spec bus has the vent nipple in the fan housing plugged as seen below.
Any fellow Euro members who have a Euro Spec bus can send us a pic of the engine bay to solve this mystery.
Thanks for your help in advance. |

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Not sure about Euro buses, but the earliest ACVWs simply vented the gas tank to the atmosphere. Perhaps that is how Euro buses were. _________________ air-cooled or nothing for me

It just so happens this diagram from Mayor Atwell depicts the 75 Euro system exactly.
Canister equipped buses have the canister installed where #28 is shown. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
