Fuel vapors

I know this topic is out there a lot. The vented gas fumes are driving me nuts in my 65 cutlass especially when the tank is full. Has anyone tried the "II much" venting system? Or found a small charcoal canister to hide under the car at the back?

I had this problem a while back...switching fuel lines fixed it. What fuel lines are you using?

That II much vent is kind of pricey

I've been thinking about getting a junkyard charcoal canister for my 55. I don't get fumes in the car but I do get them in the shop when it's closed up.

Again, what lines are you using? I can drive my car in the garage, shut engine off, close door, and no fuel vapors. When I had the unlined braided stainless, I would need to leave door open for 30 minutes. My garage ceiling is only 8', drywall, under my living room.

I switched to copper nickel. I noticed difference immediately.

I am using a Harley Davidson charcoal filter on the one vent line from my 4th gen pump bucket.

I used teflon lines and this rollover vent. Works fine

Need a charcoal canister for sure. Just wondering how everyone has dealt with their issues successfully
