I had a friend with an 82 that drove with it bypassed for 3 or 4 years.  =
It may take more than 1 try to start it but it will run OK.

  I think you could bypass it for awhile.  It's a one-way valve who's =
purpose is to hold pressure in the fuel system while the car is off.  =
With it bypassed I think it would only take longer to start your car-  =
I'm sure lots of people on the list have a used spare-  HTH,=20

    well mine decided to crack or something, it's spewing gas,
    and wouldn't you know it, I just filled the tank up!%&*$@.
    Local parts place wants $200, they're gonna be waiting untill=20
    I die. So I plan to install a used one, what is the point of
    it anyhow? store gas upon startup or gather it when the car
    isn't running? would bypassing it be ok (not that i'm going=20
    to but I really don't yet understand it's usefulness). Anyone
    care to enlighten me?

    thanks
    Ryan
