Can a vehicle run without a charcoal canister?

yes but it might not pass emissions depending on where you live


What happens if charcoal canister goes bad?

You would have a strong gas smell. If it's an older car, it may run badly because the charcoal can be sucked into the carberator. The only thing it really does is filter the air from the carb and tank.


Is there a breather tank next to the gas tank on Chevy s10?

No, fuel vapors not vented to atmosphere. It may be the filter or charcoal canister. Usually fumes stored in a canister & then run through the engine for emissions reasons.


What happens if a charcoal canister in car is not replaced?

If you are referring to the canister that is part of the Evaporative Control System and is mounted either in the engine compartment or nearby the fuel tank, this canister is part of the emission controls that prevent gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. During non-run times, the charcoal absorbs the fumes and holds them until the next startup, when the canister is purged and the vapors burned. In my experience the canister does not really age or lose its effectiveness unless it has been physically damaged or flooded by forcefully overfilling the fuel tank. Models with which I have worked do not typically recommend routine replacement, but it's always best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines especially as it pertains to emissions compliance in your region.
