Nice guy and very helpful, but extending the PCM connection by soldering extra wire to all the pins is (IMHO) a bad approach.
As for the evap can, I just put in an '85 or whatever Monte Carlo evap can that had no solenoid as designed. Just an inlet from the tank, and an outlet to the engine. I connected that to the LS1 evap solenoid, even though the PCM is not likely to switch it.
No gassy smell under-hood since 2004. Fuel tank holds pressure and hisses when the filler cap is unscrewed. |

He may have fixed it by now but he's keeping quiet about it.
Speartech worked for Delphi and knows his shiite. If I was doing major harness surgery, I'd pay him to do it.

I cant imagine solder giving that much resistance, or any more then what you would see from extending the harness an extra 3ft to sit inside the car, no?
Ive tossed around the idea of going with a Speartech harness...but thats a large chunk of change to drop. If I could sell more of my stuff, I could free up a bit more money for the budget, but...its another 350 bucks!
Ill toss it around.
Back to the tank.
I still like all the advantages of teh 4th gen tank. Reading on TGO, it seems that the fumes are vented through the onboard charcol canister, with or without evap, so I guess that can do a good enough job scrubbing the fuel smell. I gotta look at that picture of the top of the 4th gen tank again.
