ok i just barely got a vapor system running on my jeep. Unfortunately it's got a bad tranny so i can't drive it, which is why i decided to through it on there because it doesn't matter if i blow it up or not. It ran really well other then the idle bypass valve was trying to adjust fuel curve at idle and all.

It was running off of a 5 gallon can with 1.5 gallons in it. so i was wondering how long it should be able to use up 1 gallon of fuel at idle normally. That way if it should idle through 1 gallon in about four hours and it only goes through a few cups then it would give an idea on how much better the fuel economy would be.

I know it would be better to actually drive it around to check fuel economy, but i don't have another tranny for it or the money to get one right now.
