Sorry Raven, I have the OCD and usually spend almost as much time putting things away as I do working. I also have the "old timers" and if I don't put it up I don't know where it is.

Thanks for noticing. I've only had the shop a couple of years and only been able to get in it regularly over the last year. I do like it!

nice job...and yes your shop is clean...only time my shop was that clean was after it was built and before I put my tools in...ever want to spend a week come on over.

Jim, I'm not ignoring you, I'm having trouble uploading the pictures. Once it gets worked out I'll post the charcoal canister.

Olcarguy, I'd help clean your shop, but it's too cold there for me to work.

Olcarguy, -20! When it gets below +50 it's too cold!

Jim,

I used the items in this picture. The PVC pieces and the barb fitting from Home Depot and the Charcoal and filter from Petco.

I built a bracket to bolt it to the frame under the crossmember that holds the bed, right behind the stock fuel tank in the S10.

I put the large plug in the PVC fitting and cut a piece of the filter, and pushed it into the PVC fitting from the back side. Then I put the barbed fitting in the other plug, cut some more filter and pushed it in from the back side. Then I poured some of the charcoal into the fitting and then pushed the plug with the barbed fitting into the PVC fitting. I didn't glue it together as it seems to be tight enough to stay together. I'll bolt it in place with the bracket and when I get running we'll see how it works.
