Anyone here give me any reasons why I can't or shouldn't do this? It would be of great convenience to my car build if I can hide it in or under the boot.
It wouldn't change how everything is connected up as far as their order goes, just the lengths of the pipes / tubes from where they once were.
Since I don't fully understand how often this valve is used or kicks in, could I be looking at having vacuum problems or delays / lags of you will that may cause problems?
Thanks.
EDIT:
This I got from a rover manual:
Evaporative emission canister
The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister is
situated beneath the LH inner wing valance, and
contains charcoal which absorbs and stores fuel
from the fuel tank when the engine is not running.
When the engine is running the vapour is purged
from the canister into the engine and burned.
The EVAP canister is purged when the EVAP
canister purge valve is opened. Manifold depression
draws fresh air into the canister through the
charcoal, which releases fuel vapour into the inlet
manifold.
Evaporative emission canister purge valve
The EVAP canister purge valve is operated by the
ECM. The valve remains closed until engine
temperature rises above 70°C. This is to maintain
engine tune and catalyst performance. If the valve
was to open with the engine cold or at idling speed,
the enriched mixture would delay catalyst light off
time and cause erratic idling. When the purge valve
opens, fuel vapour from the EVAP canister is drawn
along a pipe through the valve and into the inlet
manifold for combustion.
Blind shot in the dark here but moving it won't do squat, right?
