Default Fuel Tank Venting- 69 Camaro

I tried a search for this, but couldn't find an answer.

What's everyone doing to vent the fuel tank on their conversions? I've seen the vent assembly from II Much Fabrication, but I'm really not into dropping $280 for something that should be much simpler to accomplish (I'd think). A vent seems to be necessary to avoid burping, etc., but I can't see it costing that much to do it.

I have just connected the Venting and EVAP system from my Chevelle and have had not issues.

From the Chevelles Charcoal Canister, I just connect the Vacumn port to the LS1 EVAP port on the intake and the tank is connected as it would be for my Chevelle. Pluged the PCV port of the Canister.

Some have just used Vented caps, vented to a small filter or used a Roll over Check valve and open to the air.

But my recommendation is to make sure it is vented and can purge the tanks vapor to a charcoal canister or filter. Else if you can or will get gas vapor and really smell them if you park inside.

Thanks. What type of charcoal canister did you use, and where did you mount it?

I'm in the process of making my own. I took one from a salvage yard and will copy the design and make it fit my vehicle.
