Stench from vent

[vik351]

What do you jokers do about the poxy stench from the fuel tank vent ? my 1966 Safari wagon with a full tanka juice stinks like a bucket a prawns left out in the bloody sun 1/2 a tank and there is no real pong , the vent line runs down next to the fuel tank and is just open vented to atmosphere , any tricks, i just bought this , all new to me

Interesting that the vent line goes to nowhere. Maybe plug that line and run a vented gas cap n call it good.

But wont it still stink , Have trouble with juice gushing the filler cap as it was going round a bloody corner , put double rubbers on it for a seal , was thinking of something on the end of the bloody vent, carbon canister ? or what ever is out there , i cant be the only one …

Sorry, couldn’t help myself

I read that with the accent.

Surprise it’s not vented to the frame rail. I think a vented cap is not a bad idea. It really shouldn’t smell.

I've had a mud dauber wasp seal that tube off. Did kids drop sardines in the tank?

There are some more exotic vent canisters out there as well

I never heard of fuel smelling like Kangaroo ****. Are you taking a shower on the days you fill it?

In the latest Hagerty drivers club mag (long tossed out)

There is a canaster you add to your existing vent system that allows full venting but reduces / eliminates the smells

NO. The original vents worked fine. WHAT ARE YOU working on?

If you plug the vent and use a vented cap you are inviting spill over onto the fender on hot days/ full tank

Whether the vent tube ended in the frame rail or just "down there" should not matter a twit as to smell.

I almost suggested some sort of carbon can. I didn't know anyone marketed them for this

There's some DIY solutions out there as well Yes

If it smells other than gasoline, your tank probably has old fuel in it that varnished up and yes it`s rank and will eventually break up and clog up the system.
