Evap system

Another of those random questions I'm afraid. Having recently broken the thermally activated vacuum switching valve for the charcoal canister system and priced them up at Toyota i nearly fell off my seat. I then priced up the one-way valve used in the system which has also failed on my setup. Again almost died, and when I was forced to buy 7 exhaust studs and 7 nuts for a princely sum of over 100$ equivelent (Toyota use 1.25mm thread pitch so they're bloody hard to get at engineering shops too) so uninspired by the pricing, was I, that I've decided to do away with the evap system altogether - i hate trees anyway.

The problem i have is I dont really want to smell petrol vapour all day long, nor leave the tank sealed (bad idea lol) so do I - a)simply take the existing tank vent and re-route it under the chassis a little, hopefully keeping smells clear of the passengers and vapours away from the rather hot engine or b) figure a way to somehow make it exit through the the charcoal canister and out, or finally c) keep the existing setup but have it venting all the time right into the intake pre-turbo and risk vapour buildup in the intake on hot days.

I believe that the charcoal canister gets purged at cold startup. You could probably find an electrically operated VSV and rig a switch in the cockpit to open and close manually.
