Thread: Charcoal Canister Plumbing.... Classic Rangie

In the absence of anyone else - you won't be able to use it. Use the ford setup or one from an injected LR V8. You are going to have to build separate high pressure and return lines from your (new) fuel pump anyway. Just to refresh your memory, vent from the tank goes to the vapour seperator behind the fuel filler, then to the charcoal canister. Might be an idea to raid an injected Rangie for the fuel lines and tank/pump - might save a lot of fabrication.

I have a pic.



This is what I have. I'm doing a conversion but unsure what to do with the fuel line plumbing.

It's been a while since it had the old 3.5 in it, and I cannot remember how it was setup.
Where does it breather come out of the fuel tank ? I can follow a line from the top, middle front (if that makes sense) of the main tank, is that the breather or the return line from the old carbie setup ?
Did the return line from the old rangie carbies go into the canister ?
I'm hoping I can get rid of the canister, and just run a return line from the fuel rail on the injected windsor I am putting in it, back to the main tank or surge tank I have.

Has anyone done somthing similar before ?

Here's a link for where I am at if the info is of any help.... http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-t...ic-rangie.html

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You require 3 existing lines from the tank, 1 feed, 1 return and 1 vapour, the vapour line runs to the can, the other 2 are the fuel system

You will require a surge tank with a non EFI tank and external pump, you utilise the standard pump as the supply pump, your surge tank will (should) have 4 fitting, one on the very bottom, 2 near the top and one on the very top, they require hooking up as follows

Bottom, to high pressure pump, feeding fuel rail
near top 1, return from fuel rail
near top 2, feed from supply pump
Very top, return to fuel tank

The vapour line from the fuel tank will fit the can in the T for tank port, you will then hook up the P for purge to the factory Ford ECU controlled purge solenoid and block off the C for carburrameter

Didn't I answer some of this already?

Oh, If you don;t won;t to be legite, simply vent the tank to atmosphere and block the purge solenoid port, or use it for a vac port on the motor
