VENTED gas caps for our cars?

[TR Custom Parts]

Such a thing? Yanking out the charcoal canister and figured a vented gas cap would be the way to go. Don't want the vent in the motor compartment.

I took my charcoal canister out and vented the cap on another car and noticed the smell of gas in the shopI put it back in and smell gone.My garage is attached to the house so it bothered me

Wonder how the older muscle cars pre emissions era get away with it? Stinking up the garage. Don't remember my old Chevelle doing that.

I've used a vent hose for a rear differential for the tank on my camaro (hose with the check valve on the end)

I thought the same thing and could not explain it This was my 87 Monte ss and it had the canister same as the GN and it took 2 days and you could smell fuel vapours

If you choose to go with a vented cap then one for a diesel may work (although they're usually green). I know they interchange on late model stuff because I get diesel trucks all the time at work where someone installed a gasoline fuel cap. Then they start pulling a vacuum on the tank and starve for fuel. Causes all kinds of driveability problems.
