The vents are vacuum powered, so by having a vacuum "resivoir," you can still have your vent put out air while still being able to have your engine put out full throttle.

Should be able to just hook up the hoses and make sure they're airtight. Good luck mounting it though.

Gonna take some fab work.

Particularly those little kegs, I've seen them. They'll work.

If one buckles, I guess you'll have to buy another beer....
make sure you clean it out really really really well.

It's actually negative pressure, but I'm not sure how much. I checked my Haynes and owner's manual, I can't find where either of them say, let alone mention it. If you do rig up that beer can, maybe attach a way to check the pressure in it so future "generations" will know.

If the Mrs. Asks (if there is a Mrs.), you're "going to go get parts to repair the vacuum canister."

And you are.
