II Much Fabrication Fuel Vent installations

[parsonsj]

I installed our new Fuel Vent prototype on Unfair last night. We've addressed all the bits and pieces of manufacturing: hard-coating tolerances, materials for our custom-made O-rings and washers, and some packaging issues.

Anyway, have a look at the photo below. The new design greatly simplifies plumbing with its "through the floor" approach, and integrated air filter. Drill a hole in the floor, install the Fuel Vent in place with its sealing O-ring, nut and washer, tighten into place by hand, and connect the tank vent port to it.

The production pieces will be hard-coated, and we expect availability in April.

Here's a view from the bottom. You can see the integrated air filter and locking nut as well. Apologies for the photo itself... this was taken with my iPhone.

That is a good idea. I just installed my (Old) version last week. I filled up the tank at lunch Today and I am looking forward at not having fuel on the floor.
My pictures will show what a improvement looks like with your new unit. I routed my hoses the way I did because of location below the car.

[LowFast]

New one looks great, what's the $$ on these as I will need one for my build.

[parsonsj]

We're scheduling the production run this week. We'll have pricing information this time next week, if things go according to plan.

[BonzoHansen]

will you be making one that does not protrude into the trunk, or could this be adapted to stay under the floorpan?

[parsonsj]

Scott, we're actively working on a follow-on Fuel Vent design that we are designing to keep entirely under the car. It's a pretty big part, and packaging it entirely under the car will be a challenge. But you aren't the first person to ask for that, which is why we're looking at it right now.

[BonzoHansen]

John, could you run it up front like an evap canister. maybe hide it under a fender?

[KUSI]

John,
Nice clean design on this version. I had just finished researching what all I could on this venting issue the past few weeks. Found the usual stuff such as the motorcycle canisters and other stock evap. canisters but your design definitely simplifies the installation process. I will check back next week for the pricing. What size fittings (part numbers) did you use on the canister and your fuel tank? I noticed you ran a hard line but I assume a flex line would work fine too?

[Mike Norris]

I saw this piece in person when I was in FL last week and it is very nice. Cool how it has evolved from out base unit from a while ago. I think you could mount it up front, but mounting it any long distance requires that there be no dips in the line to catch the fuel and really needs a down hill slope back to the tank for the fuel to drain back. If it has a dip and loads up, it will render it pretty much useless. In the rear area an above the tank with a "dramatic" incline from the tank to the vent is best for sure.

[dontlifttoshift]

Could this possibly function as a rear end vent as well?

[Greg from Aus]

Looks great John, put me down for one.


Greg

[Roadbuster]

For you guys that don't want to cut the floor, look at the area behind the rear bumper. For example, on my GTO there might be enough room to put this above the tank in that area. Depends on the dimensions of the unit. I currently have my vent there next to the filler neck, hidden behind the license plate.

Nice looking piece!

[parsonsj]

Let me attempt to answer the various questions:


What size fittings (part numbers) did you use on the canister and your fuel tank? I noticed you ran a hard line but I assume a flex line would work fine too?I used Earl's pn EAR-949008ERL and EAR-982207ERL (from Summit). That's for 8AN line, but I expect most customers to use 6AN lines. Most tanks have 1/4 NPT vent port, and so our Fuel Vent is also 1/4 NPT, which gives great flexibility for plumbing. And yes, I used hard line (just a personal preference), but regular hose would work great, as long as it is gasoline-rated (teflon-lined, PTFE)

Could this possibly function as a rear end vent as well?It would work great as a rear end vent. A bit of overkill, but I'm no one to judge about that! I'll be using one as the rear end vent in Unfair.

put me down for one.You got it!

could you run it up front like an evap canister. maybe hide it under a fender?Mike's answer is right. This device depends on gravity to return the captured fuel to the tank. Running it up front would be difficult.

Thanks everyone for the strong response. My email, PM, and blog comments are popping this morning!

[olason]

So I haven't built a fuel system yet in my project, but what do you mean by rear end vent? I understand that this is meant for venting the fuel especially when filling the tank.

I like the idea of running it out of sight, I just had a problem with the evap on my trailblazer ss which is above the wheelhouse.

[parsonsj]

but what do you mean by rear end vent?During vehicle operation, the rear end gear lube gets hot, and the ring gear, pinion gear and diff all whip the fluid. These changes to the fluid create pressure on the axle seals and gaskets. Without a vent, the rear end will leak. Most folks just put a simple check valve in one of the axle tubes (that's how the OEM's usually do it). The problem is that usually allows fluid to escape, and eventually leads to your rear end getting gooey with diff fluid.

If you were to use our Fuel Vent instead of the little check valve it wouldn't leak fluid, keeping your rear end spic 'n span.

[westoz]

Jp, definitely put me down for two of these little beauties - diff and tank breather. I can add it to the other II much fabrication bits and pieces I'm collecting! :rolleyes:

Cheers,

[parsonsj]

Lyndsay, you got it. Let's keep adding to that II Much Fabrication collection. :)

[69bigblock]

I like this. Its very simple. What size whole was drilled...

[parsonsj]

The hole diameter is 2.5"

[LeighP]

Nice installation...seems like a smaller, more compact version of the early 2nd gen F-body EEC system. Cool piece!

[HOSTILETAKEOVER]

John,
I love the detail and thought you put into everything. I truly enjoyed watching/helping you build the trans crossmember for unfair at the old prodigy shop.

I am using the ridetech fuel filler with a vaporworx tank in my 1st gen camaro. It comes with a vent port. Any ideas on using that instead of the vent port on the tank? I just don't have the room in my trunk to instal your vent.

Rolf

[parsonsj]

Hi Rolf,

Thanks! I remember that day.

I want my steering wheel back! :)

Yes the vent port on the fill tube can work, but it's important for the entire Fuel Vent to be above that port. The device depends on gravity for proper function.

jp

[HOSTILETAKEOVER]

Lol, check under Franks desk for that wheel!

Thanks for the input.

Rolf

[bri-rock]

John, I'm having a hard time understanding what the difference is between a normal pleated paper fuel vent and the one that your shop makes. Is there a carbon element to absorb the vapors? Obviously, yours looks much better. I'm just trying to understand what practical advantage this unit has.

Also, I just got finished ordering a new bearing and seal for one of the axle shafts on my rear end because the pleated paper vent I put on there got saturated with gear oil. Pressure built up and blew out the seal. I only picked-up on this when I began hearing a high-pitched whining noise coming from the back right side of the car.

[parsonsj]

John, I'm having a hard time understanding what the difference is between a normal pleated paper fuel vent and [yours]I don't quite understand your question. What is a "normal pleated paper fuel vent"? Do you mean a breather filter?

Our vent functions by acting as a reservoir to capture liquid gasoline and to allow it to return back to the tank. It controls smell by providing condensation surfaces for the gasoline vapor to condense into liquid, and then flow back to the tank instead of evaporating into the atmosphere. There's no charcoal involved.

It will do an excellent job for your rear end as well. There's nothing to get saturated, no moving parts, and no paper.

Hope that helps.

[MyFriendScott]

It will do an excellent job for your rear end as well. There's nothing to get saturated, no moving parts, and no paper.

That's potty humor right there.

[BADDRIDE II]

Any reason a "T" could not be put directly into the filter canister, then both rearend & fuel tank be plumbed into just one?

Never mind....brain fart....guess we do not want cross contamination!

[parsonsj]

Any reason a "T" could not be put directly into the filter canister, then both rearend & fuel tank be plumbed into just one?That won't work, because the fluid flowing back from the reservoir will contaminate the other. You'll have gas in the rear end, and diff fluid in your gas tank.

[CarlC]

Sounds more like a rowdy college experience.

Put me down for one. It's the best one out there, and I've been beating the bushes trying to find a good solution. The tank (actually the chassis) design for our cars does not lend themselves well to EVAP system adaptation.

[EFI69Cam]

Will pricing be posted? I need one of these!

[JohnUlaszek]

Pricing should be locked down in about a week. We're just making a few final tweaks to the design.

John and I hate "vapor-ware" as much as the next guy, so we really wanted to hold off on any product announcements until pricing and the first production run was complete. Unfortunately we underestimated how much time we would spend testing and tweaking the design and the Grass Roots Motorsports story hit the shelf before we had completed the first production run.

[kawaden]

That's potty humor right there.

And that's gold right there.

[rocketrod]

Anxiously awaiting an update on pricing and availablility....

[parsonsj]

We're expecting final manufacturing price any day now. Retail pricing will follow that.

[Mkelcy]

John: Do fumes that escape the vent get released under the car?

[JohnUlaszek]

Yes they do.

[DFRESH]

I run JP's vent (Older style now) on my car--it fixed my gas stench issue nicely. Figures you upgrade it right after I put it in. But hey, lucky me--got a new rearend coming for the car as you know--gonna need another vent solution---so I will end up with one of these new ones anyways--lol.

I would highly reccomend JP's stuff---can take pics of it installed in my 69 for anyone that would like to see it.

I too have a nice collection of JP items taking place in my garage. I can't afford to know you much longer.

D

[Mkelcy]

Yes they do.

Put me down for two.

[BonzoHansen]

Hey John, is there any inherent difference in an EFI application and a carb'd application for EVAP needs? Or is this maybe more about usage and fuel movement (ie track days, etc)? I just ask because I was under my car this weekend and was looking at the factory EVAP lines and I'm trying to figure out why I would need to change it if I were to go EFI. Thanks.

[parsonsj]

Scott,

No. I see no real difference. Fuel venting/slosh containment doesn't really matter if the fuel line pressure is for a carbed (3-7 psi) application or an EFI (40-80 psi). The venting and containment requirements are for the reservoir of fuel stored in the tank at atmospheric pressures, and subject to 2-3G (max) force acting on it for 8-10s (max) at a time.

If your factory EVAP is working for you on your car, you shouldn't need to change a thing to go to EFI.

Now, your differential is a different story. Most existing vent systems for the diff amount to a vent the size of your pinkie stuck on an axle tube. And that will ooze fluid when you push your car hard.

jp

[parsonsj]

Put me down for two.You got it.

[BonzoHansen]

Thanks for the explaination John.

[G_2]

I may need one!

[EFI69Cam]

Is a rollover valve integrated?

[JohnUlaszek]

Is a rollover valve integrated?

No, a rollover valve is not integrated into the design, you'll have to provide your own. Our vent is strictly designed to prevent fuel slosh and reduce fuel vapor smells or for use as a differential vent.

[kawaden]

tell 'em the price son!

[parsonsj]

We're actively working to get the retail pricing. As soon as we have that number, we'll post it.

[pokey64]

Any news on this John?

[parsonsj]

Sorry guys, we've just now updated the II Much Fabrication blog with pricing information.

http://blog.iimuchfabrication.com/?p=253

Price will be $249, with integrated filter. The only plumbing required will be an AN ORB (O-ring) fitting plus the hose or tube to connect it to your tank vent port. We expect to be able to ship by the end of the month, and we'll begin taking orders when we have them on the shelf.

[daredvl22]

Nice work JP, I'll take 2. One for the tank, and one for the rear end. Put me on the list please.

[parsonsj]

Dave, you're on the list. Thanks for the support!

[rocketrod]

Very nice! Add me to the list I need one asap!

[kawaden]

I'll take 2 please.

In post #14 you mention your prototype vent used 1/4in NPT fittings. Is this still the case?

I should ask, will you ship to Australia?

[parsonsj]

Dajen, got you. Just need a complete name is all.

[kawaden]

My name is Dajen Tinkler

[parsonsj]

Cool, got it.

Thanks for all the interest folks!

[JohnUlaszek]

I'll take 2 please.

Australia is no problem.

The final version uses a standard -6 AN O-ring interface. The AN O-ring interface has become very standard on fuel products, so you shouldn't have any problem converting over to a fitting type that you find convenient.

[Mkelcy]

Confirming my order for two vents.

[parsonsj]

Mike, you're on my list. You're good.

[kawaden]

so just so i have this straight the thread in the housing will be 6an and not 1/4 npt.

[parsonsj]

Dajen,

Correct. The production units use AN6 ORB fittings (AN6 o-ring).

[kawaden]

Crap. I knew I shouldn't have ordered the fittings first. Oh well. Maybe Summit will let me change my order before it ships

[carbuff]

I'll need two of these as well...

[rocketrod]

Any updates? Getting close to firing up the engine and will need one soon.

[parsonsj]

We're expecting to get the parts out of machining and off to coating by this time next week. We've had a week delay or so, but progress continues. We're gearing up to quickly ship the parts once we have them on our shelves. I appreciate the continued interest and patience!

[westoz]

I'm still interested JP, just one for the fuel tank at this stage, the Minister for finance has cut my spending :spank2:

Cheers,

[Glenn]

That's a trick peace you have designed.

[parsonsj]

It's been a while, and we have fallen behind our original schedule. But we are still making progress, and the parts are finally coming out of the machining part and are on the way to the anodizer. Here's a photo of the bottom portion (as though you were looking up from the bottom of the car). You can see the recess for the filter and the 6AN ORB boss for connecting to the tank.

59390

[westoz]

Any news on production JP? Cheers

[parsonsj]

They are on a truck coming to me. I expect to have the initial run in my hands today or tomorrow, and we are setting up for a much larger second run, along with regularly scheduled production runs after that.

[rocketrod]

Couple questions I couldn't answer by reading this thread or looking on your website.


How tall is the vent?
Does the vent have to be mount vertically as shown? Could I build a bracket and mount the vent horizontally as long as the drain is at the bottom (probably not)? The reason being is I may install a g-link later and have no idea where to drill the 2.5" hole so it won't interfere with the g-link later (I don't want to have to drill another 2.5" hole later).

[Denvervet]

Rocket how about you buy two of them and send me one so I can install it on my car with the gbar and then I'll report to you where you should mount as not to have to move it later. Deal? ;)

[rocketrod]

Answers:

5.25" above the mounted surface. Almost exactly the size of an ordinary 12 oz. beer can.
It must be mounted vertically, and the plumbing between it and the tank cannot have a low spot that would collect gasoline.

[westoz]

Thanks for the update JP, looking forward to getting them in my grubby little hands :)

[parsonsj]

Hey folks, just a quick update. We had a shipping problem that ruined a key part of the entire first production run. Every single part in one box wasn't properly wrapped after anodizing, and ended up banging together during final shipment. As most of you know, anodized aluminum, even hard-coated aluminum, can't deal with that. We are making replacement parts this week, and should be able to begin shipping soon thereafter.

Who knew how hard it would be to bring these parts to market?

In any case, we were able to generate some final product photos. This is how the part will look when all you long-suffering folks finally get them:

[dontlifttoshift]

Looks great!

[kawaden]

It's like watching Days of our lives

[westoz]

It's like watching Days of our lives

Kinda of is!!

They do look smicko though! I'm still down for 2!

[dontlifttoshift]

These came in 15 minutes ago. I apologize for the crappy cell pics, it's the easiest and quickest way to get them on here.

The vents were wonderfully packaged and while the boxes were beat to hell the parts survived unscathed. Assembly was simple and took all of 5 minutes after the hole was cut. I gambled a few weeks back and drilled the holes before we had the paint touched up in this car and it paid off.

A bit of frosting on an already great cake for us was that by adding a slot from the 2 1/2" hole from the vent we were able to slide the remote cansister for the Afco shocks up into the trunk to keep them away from moving parts and make them easier to get at.

This car will be at MotorState if anyone wants to see these installed.....it'll be the red 69 Camaro with nothing dripping off the back of it.

[parsonsj]

Damn, that was quick! These units are pre-production units using the best of the shipping-damaged parts. Thanks Donny, and good luck this weekend.

Got any pics showing the undercarriage? Also you wouldn't happen to have a g-link (4-link) rear suspension in that car?

[parsonsj]

Donny's car has a DSE Quadra-Link in it. The crossmember of the Q-link is an ideal spot to mount the Fuel Vent.

[dontlifttoshift]

The Camaro is for a customer, I don't want people to think I own a Camaro, it's about 30 years to new to be cool....HA! It is DSE equipped. I should put together a quick build thread for it.

I will get some better pictures next week.....it has been a busy day.

[quarterbooty]

John,
What is the latest availability estimate? I'm looking to add one of these to my Monte when they're ready.

Thanks,
Nick

[Steve Chryssos]

I have an early prototype on my car and it works amazingly well. My fuel cell's happy, my fuel pump's happy, and my wife's happy. This is a must-have product for efficient venting and garage odor elimination.
/Steevo

[parsonsj]

What is the latest availability estimate?I'm expecting replacement parts for the shipping damages any day now (I've been checking every 20 minutes or so :) ). Then 3 days turn around for coating (we've moved the coating operations to a local facility) and then off they go. We ought to be shipping them in 6-10 working days.

The caveat is that our entire first run is probably sold out. The next run will probably be available in August -- we are already in the schedule for that, along with a few more runs through the end of the year.

[carbuff]

Have you been taking payments on these, or are you considering the units sold which have been spoken for in this thread?

Thanx!

[parsonsj]

Bryan, good question. I've been keeping a list of people (from this thread, PM, email, and phone calls) that I'll contact when I have inventory and give them a link to go to our web store to buy them. I have you down for two. Still right?

[carbuff]

You got it. :) I plan to use one for the gas tank and one for the axle... Thanx for confirming!

[kawaden]

im still in for 2

[Ron.in.SoCal]

One please John.

[parsonsj]

Dajen, I've got you on my list for two.

[protour_chevelle]

please add me to the list for one. I am having fuel odor issues in the garage aswell. Havn't tried anything with my vent issue.

kuehnmattAThotmailDOTcom

please email me when you are ready to take payment.

[zombiekiller]

I'd love to get one of these as well.

[DarkoNova]

What if the stock tank doesn't have a provision for a vent?

AFAIK, the tank in my Nova just has a vented cap.

[parsonsj]

MattK, Dave, adding you to the list.

Matt (Nova), I'd recommend adding a vent to the high spot in your tank with something like this:

[indebt69]

I'm down for one. PM sent. Thanks.

[wellis77]

Put me down for one as well John. I may have to fab up a mount to elevate it in order to eliminate a low spot in the line but it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.

Will

[rocketrod]

I just ordered mine.....thanks John

[westoz]

Mine are one their way, cheers John!

[parsonsj]

Thanks to you all!

The international orders are in the hands of the USPS (and you Aussies made out on shipping!). All U.S. domestic orders are on their way via UPS.

I'm working my way through the waiting list, and contacting each person individually as I go. There have been been just a couple people who had indicated interest but passed, and so we will sell out the initial production run today. Our next run will be available in 4-5 weeks, and it is twice as many units as this one, and we won't have the shipping problems next go-around.

We will handle the next run the same way: working through the waiting list (in order as best I can), though we expect to "catch up" next run.

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to all the photos of your installations.

[slenning]

Great product John, put me down for two please

[parsonsj]

Steve, you got it.

[Greg from Aus]

Thanks JP.

Greg

[parsonsj]

The entire first production run has sold out. What a week!

I checked some tracking numbers, and they'll be arriving starting today and through next week, at least here in the U.S. Many thanks to those who purchased our Vents, and hopefully we'll get some good photos and feedback soon.

Our next run is scheduled to run next week, and I expect to have sellable inventory in 4-5 weeks.

[daredvl22]

I received both mine today. Not sure how soon I'll be able to post install pics, but I'll do so ASAP.

They look fantastic! Great job, and just what I needed to get back in gear with my project.

Thanks

[kawaden]

do we Aussies get a tracking number?

[parsonsj]

Dajen,

Unfortunately, no. The USPS Flat Rate method I used for international shipments doesn't have tracking numbers when you pay for it at the Post Office. Or perhaps the semi-grumpy fellow who helped me had it, but wouldn't give it to me. I do have a receipt with a Customs number on it... but that only helps if you're a cop.

UPS shipping to Australia would have cost more than twice as much, so I thought it a decent tradeoff.

[carbuff]

Received my pair today also. Thanx John, they look great! Will be a while before the install, but these are nice pieces. :)

[rocketrod]

I got my vent in the mail today! Thanks John!

Wow, nice pix! Thanks!

[Denvervet]

I received my vent a couple of weeks ago and got it installed this weekend. I've got the gbar suspension so I placed it about the only flat trunk area I could find that was still going to route the vent tubing without leaving any low spots to pool fuel. It will work where I ended up placing it and can't wait to fill the tank without fuel sloshing back out.

[parsonsj]

David, very nice. That's the spot where most Camaros with an un-molested trunk floor will end up, I suspect. What kind of tank do you have?

[Mkelcy]

I received mine - beautiful pieces - but they won't go in until after the exhaust guy has done his thing. He's already sweating the packaging without me making it more complicated for him. I want a pretty quiet exhaust, but with the LD 3 link the space for a muffler is really tight. He's going to make a sort of pre-muffler and use an X crossover to try to keep things at a reasonable sound level.

[Denvervet]

John
I've got a ricks tank.

[Greg from Aus]

Thanks JP,

Mine arrived today, bloody fantastic.

Hey John. mine were waiting for me when I got back from work. very nice, thank you.

Dajen, glad to know it. The USPS flat rate shipping is a bit "fire and hope for the best". I'm happy to know all arrived safely.

[DFRESH]

JP, set me up with one of the newby models please--for the new rearend setup. You wanna trade back the original model for the fuel tank vent so that I have two that match?

Pay through Paypal?

Thanks bro!

Doug

[wellis77]

Doug, I may be able to take the original off your hands. I set my tank up for the original and missed my chance to buy. The new style would be easy to make work but it will require some extra fab.

Thanks JP!You're welcome, but I need to see some installation photos before I believe you installed it in a single day. :)

[diesel25lrs]

Lol... Get some tomorrow... I'm in bed... But i did for sure! I was bored & had too many other things that i needed to fix but procrastinated on...

I just knew you would have one of these before long Josh. ;) It is a quality piece and I believe it has helped out everyone that has installed it. I will be trying to locate mine this weekend but I want to be sure I get it in a location that will be future proof if I ever switch to a different rear suspension. I will check out your pictures to see where you installed yours.

Drilled the holes and mocked up the vents prior to paint, awesome parts JP.

Looks like a great product and will be ordering one in the future. Couple quick question though. I will be installing this on a 68 Mustang with the stock tank converted to efi.
Would I use the stock vented gas cap or could I use a non vented cap as I was considering putting the filler neck in the trunk?
The reason for this is, on the Mustang the stock filler tube has a horrible tendency to burp gas back out onto your shoes.
Would your vent prevent this from happening so I could still use the stock filler tube?

Hi David,

Some quick answers for you:

You'll want to switch to a non-vented cap. Our vent takes that role.

I can't say for sure, but I think our vent will fix your burping problem. Those older systems that didn't vent from the tank had that tendency. I'd install the vent before moving your filler tube. You probably won't need to move it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jeff. I will try your vent first. One more question; A previous poster asked about a roll over valve and you stated that one would still need to be added. What style or make of valve would you recommend and where would it be mounted? Thanks again.
David.

That's incorrect the Postal Service has tracking numbers available to all destinations. I apologize if you were mislead by a window clerk. If need be I can have a sales rep come see you at your place of business and resolve any issues you may have with using our service.

Blue Oval Man,
To help our Canadian customers we have started distribution via Capital Gear in Alberta (http://www.capitalgearmotorsports.com/aboutus.html). Last I checked they had inventory and should be able to save you some import hassles and shipping costs.

Thanks, I will check them out. I ship all my parts to a friends house in Montana and bring them across myself and never have any hassles or problems at all, just have to pay 5% tax. Not much I can do about shipping however.
