Quick questions about charcoal canisters and running boards

Hi folks,



I've heard from a few people that the charcoal canister under the right rear fender is almost always, by this time, "clogged" and perhaps detrimental to the fuel efficiency of an air-cooled VW. Is it truly a good idea to simply toss this canister, or is it actually still performing its environmental function? Is it possible to clean or otherwise maintain it?



Second question: Would running boards from a 67 beetle fit a 74? A friend has a line on German NOS 67 running boards for cheap and would love to replace her rusted originals.



Thanks in advance! Chris

A "clogged" canister won't do anything. Except, maybe the fuel tank wouldn't vent properly.

One size fits all on running board. Snap 'em up.

Thanks all! I should've specified that it's a standard beetle, not that it matters in this case.

Thats good to know as the list price for super running boards is alot more than for the standard. - (at least when I was pricing them up for mine)
