Default 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

I just switched to the Earls vapor guard which solved the under the hood seeping problem. Now it's just the full tank hot weather venting that seems to suck back into the somehow when driving with the windows down. Not all the time but a lit this week when it's been 85-90 degrees out. Need a charcoal canister for sure. Just wondering how everyone has dealt with their issues successfully

After much searching I am going to try a marine charcoal canister after the backup valve http://www.perkofuelsystems.com/components/canister/ When it arrives I will update as to how it turns out
