Fuel Vaporization Using Eddy Carb -- In-Line Fuel Pump Question

can the vapors be routed right to the vacuum canister, which is already about 10 inches away?

Or is that a dumb question :(

No.

Not a dumb question but think about it for a minute. That vapor will eventually turn back into liquid. That liquid is gasoline. The best place to store unused gasoline in a car is the gas tank. :D
