I have 54 235 with all new fuel components. From the frame up it's all new parts because it's a daily driver. I have installed Tom Langdons dual carb set up 2 years ago. Truck runs great. We live in Tucson so it's always HOT. My problem is this. When you go out for a drive of an hour or so and park in the garage, the fuel smell will knock you down when you come from the house back into the garage. I was a mechanic for 35 years and there is no problem like this with fuel injection because it is pretty much a closed system. All fumes are caught by the charcoal canister then recycled back into the intake the next time you run the motor. Tom Langdons carbs have an open float bowl vent tube. So in this Arizona heat the fuel really evaporates and boils in the carbs. THIS is my question or answer to this problem. Can you run rubber lines from these vent tubes out the bottom of the air filter housing to a charcoal canister and use a purge valve to open the sealed system back up when you start the motor again? This should help with the fumes I think and still be able to vent the float bowl when the motor is running. Let me know what you guys think of this idea or am I all wet?

Thanks for all the help
Tony
