    carbon canister on a GM vented gas tank

     



    I have a 35 Chevy with a stock gas tank. When I park it in my garage I can smell the gas vapors from the gas cap. I installed a carbon canister connected to my carb. I have the solenoid connected to the brake light. When I step on the brake the vapor is pulled out of the canister. If I drive on the highway for awhile no vapor is drawn out so I can get into a vapor lock situation in the carb. I remove the cap and I can go again. The vent is blocked on the gas cap. Should I have the solenoid open all the time when the engine is running, or should I install a vented cap to break the vapor lock? Has anyone had this issue before?
