Tank venting, TBI to carb conversion

Looks like this is really old post, but I have a question on venting the tank on a TBI to carb converion. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the stock gas cap for the vent. Not happy with that as I can smell fumes periodically. Need something better. My canister is gone so Maybe since this post somebody has found a good fix?

Firechicken, first, welcome aboard thirdgen.com.

I moved this to its own thread because it wasn't related to the topic where you posted it. Please keep posts on topic to the original thread, or start your own thread (after you have done a first, of course - like the rules you agreed to say you are to do).
