      Fuel cell vapor problem

      Hey Guys, I have a problem. I have a vapor issue coming from my fuel cell in my Nova. I park the car in the carage and after driving it the garage smells of fuel really bad for about a week. Its so bad it gets into our house as well. (wifes not happy about that) currently the cell is vented to atmosphere but is there a way to keep it vented but get rid of the vapor smell? Charcoal cannister like the oems? or something? Any help with this would be appreicated. Im kinda concerned from a safety stand point too

      You could contact II Much Fabrication about their vents.
      A charcoal canister would likely be a good option too.
      Some cheaper or old hoses (AN or rubber) also can permeate through the rubber and cause the smell.

      Charcoal canister is probably your best bet, I have mine run through the factory vapor line to the front of the car and then I have a breather on the end of the line, there's a bit of fuel smell but not enough to get into the house.
