Remounting fuel vapor tank
I'm welding in a 4pt cage and on the right side the main hoop down tube welds into the frame just to the right of the right gas tank. Unfortunatly there is a fuel thing there. Yup, I don't have a clue what to call it. It has several fuel lines going to it and a small plastic tank. I need to relocate it. I'm thinking of putting it in the right wheel well above the rear brake vent opening.
Questions: What is it, and is it directional? In other words, can I mount it orientated differently. Stock it is mostly horizontal, I need to mount it vertically. All the hoses would have to be extended. Anyone foresee any problems with this giddyup.

I think it's the charcoal canister, (scrubs the fuel tank vapors, then feeds them back into the intake tract). If mounted veritical, is it possible to have all the connections facing up - to keep liquid fule from pooling in the lines.

just plug it and seal the lines at the engine. They are the flexy/wavy lines going into the side of the intake.
You tanks vent through the fuel cap, although only just a little. The EVAP system holds excess fuel vapors from the tank, and the engine sucks them in and burns them.
