Fantastic! Looking forward to that day with mine.

200 pages in. Giddy up

6 years and 10 months since the last time it ran. Close to an average of 28 pages per year.
With any luck, this thread will be capped off by 300.

That's a good feeling.
This was the time I found out that non OEM sensors are crap. Hopefully you didn't go the same route I went. I had to re-buy the cam sensor, crank sensor, and knock sensors.

All the sensors are either AC Delco or Delphi.

One of the PITA jobs I mentioned a while back is finally done.

Part one was dropping the fuel tank, cutting two holes, installing two tank plates with bulkheads for the filler neck vent and two additional 3/8” vent lines.
Finished that and put the tank back up.
Picked up another one of those aluminum manifolds with the NPT ports to combine all of the vent lines into. Hym-hawed around for a couple weeks deciding where to mount it. Became dead set on mounting it under the body somewhere and not in the quarter-panel void. Bent up a piece of aluminum and made a mount up by the tank. Made a new bulkhead plate and ran the two vent hoses to it.

Tidy!

Lots of venting is a good thing

Not sure if you guys have heard of a charcoal canister called “The Vapor Trapper”, but I picked one up to vent the fumes through. The discharge side vents in behind the fuel door, via the J Mack vent method.

Beautiful work; especially using the Swagelok type hose fittings.

So there's no purge on that charcoal canister. Looks like you just replace the media periodically?

Nice job @RUSH55 !!!

Mine is way less Boujee but very similar, 2” PVC (yes it has good resistance to fuel) cut to length with some standard caps drilled and tapped for 3/8” NPT fittings.

Slip one of these 2” screens McMaster-Carr - https://www.mcmaster.com/9317T81/ in each cap before you tap them on and fill with standard fish aquarium activated charcoal.

Obviously the unit Rush bought is very nice but if you have a smaller budget the PVC will do the same thing.

Thanks guys!

WDE, no purge. The canister ends unscrew to change the charcoal.

Vapor Trappers are manufactured in Gilbert, AZ, which was another reason for me to pull the trigger on one.

Nice work! Can you post a source for the filter fitting above?

Source for the filter fitting above?
The filter website is posted above, if that’s what you mean. The fittings coming out of each end are 6ORB male to 6AN male, and the hose fittings are 6AN to 3/8” barb, all of which came off of eBay.

Sorry, I meant the little brass filter in the -6ORB

That is just an 1/8” NPT sintered bronze breather. Also off of eBay.
I took a 6AN bulkhead, cut the end off the long side, then tapped the hole to 1/8” NPT to make the ‘through the body’ fitting that the breather goes into.

Can I use this on my BONG

Can I use this on my BONG

Only if you want to restrict the flow!

I need that…the vapor trapper that is!
