What's worse is when its almost empty, the pressure is backing up not allowing you to fill up. And your in the desert, and needing to go places..... in a hurry!
To be on topic, love the lock box idea. Cant wait to see the finish product.

Can I squeeze my weathertech mat under there? Looks like I can but can't tell for sure.

By the way I think this is a prime example of why people should always have an extinguisher in their rig (preferably within reach of the driver) at all times. Mine was on the ground just behind me while I was recording that video and one other guy brought his over just in case. Something as simple as venting vapors from your gas tank could turn catastrophic in a matter of minutes. I would much rather put out a small gas fire under my truck and suffer a scorched bumper and arm hair, than watch it go up in flames.

Do you guys have a recommendation for a rig extinguisher?
Not sure I'd want to be around that flowing tank even with an extinguisher.
I'm thinking that would blow up pretty suddenly (ref the Cerro Gordo 100 series meltdown).

Love the idea but I need to see a photo of the final design with an extinguisher mounted to see how much foot-room I'm going to lose.
Jeez that is unbeliveable. Was that your truck? You ought to send that to the NTSB (and Toyota legal). Might be the incentive Toyota needs to issue recall, or TSB. Good evedence of poor evap design. I dont care how old the canister is, no evap system on a modern vehicle should produce those results.

Yes that is my rig, that happened August 10, 2017 at I believe 11,700ft (or somewhere around there) on the trek up to Imogene. And I’ve never thought about doing that but that’s not a bad idea I’m going to look into that thanks! But I agree it really made me second guess how the evap system is designed

Did your charcoal box get flooded when you flooded your rig? I was under the impression only the newer rigs with the Evap canister had boiling and evap system issues.
My 2000 LX never experienced any issues going up Imogene.

Coolest person you know!
I'm interested. Pricing and foot room confirmation pending.
I reported when mine did that. It’s a simple online form. I don’t think enough people complain about it they just take it as normal.

Sorry your product thread got side tracked-
Maybe the fuel puking coversatio and video can move over here:
Gas puked out of filler cap and major vapor pressure
Back to your “big beautiful” fire extinguisher mount with locking lid.
