Stop the Smell: Charcoal Vapor Canisters

Does your garage smell like raw gasoline after you park your vintage car? The culprit is likely a saturated or missing Charcoal Canister. Introduced in the late 1960s, this device traps fuel vapors from the gas tank and carburetor bowl when the engine is off, then purges them into the engine when running.

Don't Delete It! Many owners mistakenly remove these, thinking they rob power (they don't). Removing the canister leaves you with dangerous fumes and an open vent line.

  • NOS and NORS Replacements: We stock replacement canisters and the purge valves needed to make the system work again.

  • Fitment: Units for Ford, GM (Rochester), and Mopar vapor recovery systems.
