I was looking for a charcoal canister to connect to the vent on the gas tank when I ran across several listings on eBay for Kawasaki Ninja scoots. The size and shape looked easy to adapt to my needs, so I bought one that was a take off from a relatively new bike. I'm guessing bike builders remove them during the customization process. Mine came with an electric shutoff solenoid, so if you wanted, you could wire it to completely close the vent when the truck isn't running. Plumbing it into the intake would be the most effective, but I was mainly looking to neutralize any vapors coming from the vent. I'll try it like this and if I notice any fuel smell in the shop after filling up, I may hook up the shutoff solenoid.
