Gas fumes
 

Im just wondering if any of you guys have seen/fixed a similar issue. I have a 07 LS2 with a boyds tank. Now that the trucks parked in a enclosed garage the gas tank vent I guess is causing some serious fumes. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas? Wondering if some type of charcoal canister or something would kill the fumes.

Thats what the EVAP can (charcoal) is for. I just run a regular little breather, and depending on fuel type, you'll get a little smell.

Yea I figured that's what it was for but my truck obviously doesn't have it. Im wondering if there is something I could add to that vent line that may prevent the fumes?

Ah yes..closed up garage in the Ga heat..expanding gas...we have the same problem on this side of the border to..my 81w/lq9 does the same thing

Yea and it actually doesn't really bother me, my wife however can not stand it lol Its real bad if it stays closed up for a few days especially.

If you really feel like you need it, go rob one off a late 90's S10. Just hooks up with 3/8 rubber hose, its about the size of a 1/2 gal of milk.

I had good luck with a power brake filter like this in the vent line.

@ zach_carver, I know the feeling. Do as BR3W CITY has instructed and it will be ok. This has been my problem for a while (since 2007). Before I pull my truck into the garage, I let my truck sit outside for a day or two and then I push it in the garage. I try not to drive my truck into the garage, right after it has been driven. I have looked into all types of fixes. Anyway, who wants to live with Ninja Turtles or X-Men (gas fumes may mutate the kids into super heros). My wife hates my truck, parked in our driveway. She says, what will the neighbors think. I recommend putting a window in the garage if you can. It will add extra ventilation. Good Luck. LMK, what you come up with.

Zach , I have heard people having trouble with vapor coming from the fuel line supply . Apparently there must be some vapor thru the hose of some types of supply fuel line . There is fuel supply line that will not do this . Might want to research what fuel line you have and see if it is prone for this . I must have got lucky and got the right stuff, I don't have any smell . When I run my vent from the tank I run it up behind the engine behind the intake . I put one of those small vents like you see for the rearend in the hose . No smell for me .

Just something to think about .

I have a fuel smell issue coming out the vented gas cap. Thinking I need to use a non vented cap and venting the tank into a s10 charcoal canister.

Re: Gas fumes
 

I put it in the end of the vent hose and mounted it high in the rear fender. It is a small charcoal filter. I may have put an transmission vent on the other end of filter to prevent dirt dobbers from stopping it up.
