Yes, I have a cap on the intake and on the line on my own car
If you cap the line from the tank to the evap canister.....you need to install a vented gas cap or when it gets really hot in the summer and the road heat radiates up from the road onto the gas tank....you could have a recipe for a disaster...as gas vapors are heated they expand..and given the right temp and length of time sitting in a parking lot in the hot summer heat.. I'd reccommend a vented gas cap or leaving line from tank to canister in place..just remove the purge valve and run the line directly to the canister... this was at least the vapors go into something..and or can freely leave rather than build up pressure
Actually, to my knowledge, at least here in Canada, they all came with vented gas caps. All 4 of my foxes have had vented gas caps on them, so im pretty sure ALL of them haven't been changed, but maybe they have? I don't know, regardless, it has a vented cap on it, just check your cap to see if it's vented or not. If it's not, just buy one, they're cheap, 10 bucks or so. Leaving that hose unpluged isn't really the greatest idea if your cap isn't vented. As the hose is located right behind the right front tire, dirt, rocks, or whatever else may be on the road, could just as easily plug that hose and suddenly, your tank holds half the volume it did yesterday
