Re: Gas smell

Joedoh, I've never had to mess with a charcoal canister. For the ones you are talking about, how do they handle expansion like when the truck sits in the sun?
Where have you mounted them on an AD, inside fenders?

I've avoided filling my main tank while the truck is still a project living in the garage. I have a small non vented tank zip tied to the frame under rad I run it off for now, just have to remember to loosen the cap before firing up.

all the s10 swaps i have done have kept their charcoal canisters, so if they were under the hood or under the bed thats where they stay. the sealed burp systems from ~2001 didnt have a pressure sensor so i would guess they just held pressure, there is a shuttle valve in the tank that closes off the filler neck when fuel isnt flowing in so they dont even need a vented cap.
