| | | 1980 G30 question | Joined: Nov 2018 Posts: 8 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Nov 2018 Posts: 8 | First of all, hello I am new here and to vans. I have a 1980 G30 and am trying to figure out what the canister is that is along the frame rail on the drivers side about midway back. It has been raining for 3 days now so I haven’t got a picture of it or been able to trace the hose coming off of it. I am just trying to do some armchair mechanics. | | | Re: 1980 G30 question | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Hey 76 welcome to the site ....dont know of that one but on the passenger side there is a Fuel filter about 3" x 1.5 round dia. A pic would help a lot.
Been thinking it maybe where some one took out the rear heater.... hoses in bypass mode

It’s dark by the time I get off work. It is about 6†in diameter and about 15†or so long with one hose going towards the engine. | | | Re: 1980 G30 question | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | Sounds like the charcoal canister to me as well. Someone might have relocated it at some point. | | | Re: 1980 G30 question | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 558 | It is about 6†in diameter and about 15†or so long with one hose going towards the engine.

What you have may not be fuel related but it could be a vacuum canister of some type. I don't suppose your G30 is/was originally a diesel by any chance? They had vacuum pumps and vacuum storage canisters different from the gas models. Without pics we're just guessing....... although I do enjoy the research. We should start a "What the hell is it" sticky.
