Default Pulling Evap...

What negative effects, if any, does this cause? I pulled mine when I installed new fuel rails, just for the cleaner look... Any known issues with doing this?
Just wondering...

Are you talking about the Evap solenoid that is for the canister purge? It is to take excess fuel fumes and filter them through a charcoal canister. I think all you might notice is a stonger smell of fuel. And put off more emmissions through the fumes just being expelled into the atmosphere.

Like smoknta said, if you keep it in a garage you'll have to put up with the smell of gas, that's all.

You need to have some way of venting the gas tank. If you plug all the evap lines, how is the tank supposed to vent?

That's why some people put a breather filter
on the end of the tank vapor line, I suppose.

You could do that, but IMO, it is much cleaner to just cap all of the lines and go old school with a vented gas cap.
