I got rid of it and replaced with a GM canister. I'm going to have to take photos, because I didn't find any on my blog. I thought I documented this somewhere, but the GM canister I put on the firewall behind the driver. So far working well.

Posted too soon, here is the link for what I did: Gas Tank Venting (http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?10997-Gas-Tank-Venting&p=213315&highlight=canister#post213315)

Here is a custom made tube with a screen and aquarium charcoal in it. Has been on the car for three years and NO smell of raw fuel, and is also a rollover spill prevention when properly positioned

Most of the Roadster guys are using the "aquarium type" setup on their vent line . . . 1-1/2" PVC capped with [small] drilled holes at the top end, capped with fitting to gas tank at bottom end, charcoal from aquarium store inside. Works perfectly on mine for six years now (but probably time to replace charcoal). NO gas smell at any time here in Vegas.

^^^^ I did the same thing on my 818 and it's worked perfectly. Much smaller and lighter and easier to tuck away.

Nice idea going with the small "pipe bomb" canister. Without an ORVR system, you don't need much of a canister. (ORVR = On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery, the system that captures all the hydrocarbon vapors when refueling). I'm surprised that the aquarium charcoal does much. The automotive canister is filled with "activated" carbon that is able to attract and hold hydrocarbon. A more automotive solution would be to use the carbon from the OEM canister inside the pipe bomb.

I have struggled with this fuel vapor issue as well for my 289 FIA. This year at SEMA, I asked around with some of the hot rod guys how they address this problem. The overwhelming response was a product called "II Much." It's available from Summit, of course, but is pricey. This is what it looks like installed. Does anyone have experience with this product??

Yamaha scooter canister off of ebay connected to the vent port on the fuel tank - works great and is compact!

thank you everyone for the suggestions, i think my main concern is/was passing emissions inspection without everything connected but i think its down to me getting the codes deleted, building or buying a smaller canister and finding a nice place to mount it. if anyone from NJ has any first hand knowledge that would be helpful.
I think my main smell is coming from the tank fuel level sender. I ordered o rings to get a better seal.

Is ther a purge valve being used too? It looks like there is no purging of the hydrocarbons from the canister. My guess is that it gets saturated with HC and then simply acts as a buffer over it's lifetime. Daily temperature fluctuations and fuel use would not allow enough clean air in to purge the canister.

Hello,

Are there 3 hoses going to your canister? If so how are they hooked up ?

Thanks
