Vapor Canister A Simple Solution for Controlling Fuel Vapors
Fuel vapor odors are a common issue in vehicles that vent their fuel systems directly to the atmosphere. Classic cars, hot rods, race vehicles, boats, and custom builds are especially prone to this problem. A vapor canister is a reliable and effective solution designed to capture fuel vapors before they escape improving safety comfort and air quality. What Is a Vapor Canister? A vapor canister is a fuel vapor filtration device that uses activated charcoal to absorb hydrocarbon fumes. Installed inline with the fuel tank vent, the canister allows the fuel system to breathe while preventing gasoline vapors from entering the environment. Unlike factory evaporative emissions systems a vapor canister operates passively without electronics or engine management components. Why Fuel Vapors Need to Be Controlled As fuel warms and expands vapors naturally form inside the tank. When these vapors are vented directly into the air they can cause: Strong gasoline odors in garages and enclose...
