Default BMR Fuel Tank

I am currently using a BMR fuel tank and am venting the top An6 line to atmosphere. Does anyone make anything to help filter the fumes so my garage does not always smell like gas?

Small in-line fuel filter with a screen on 1 end?

The line is attached and it is open on one end. The stock tank has some sort of charcoal setup to filter the fumes. Was not sure if theu made anything aftermarket to filter the fumes.

It's venting fumes just sitting in the garage? Is it sitting in sun light or over full? You really shouldn't be able to smell the fumes.

My garage just smells like gas with this new tank. I am not leaking anywhere but I can really smell it comming from the vent hose. It is a 15 gallon tank with about 10 gallons of gas in it. I am going to try and come up with some kind of charcoal filter for it to see if that fixes the smell.
