History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!
Think the last one is the type that snaps into a grommet in the highest part of the tank. In other words, if you just plug the hose barb into the hose where the existing valve is on a thirdgen, it probably wouldn't function correctly.
Thanks a lot for the link, I didn't noticed it before, sorry.
Anyway I'm going to order this VVR valve.
One more question for you Allan91z28, if I store the car for winter with a complete filled fueltank, is there any possibility that fumes will escape from the VVR vent?
I mean, I don't like dangerous situations in my garage.
With the excisting, original vent valve, this was never an issue.

with this valve it will be similar to any older car with a vented fuel cap, ie this is why this valve exists in the first place, people installing efi systems in older cars without EVAP, etc type system
the tank now will breathe under all conditions, but unless you have a significant change in temp in the garage etc the tank and outside will be at the same pressure when sitting and it won't be breathing
I 3d scanned my broken housing and created design with strengthening improvements. I then had the design 3d printed with a Markforged Mark Two printer using Onyx material which has chopped carbon fiber along with continuous strands of carbon fiber in select areas. Everything snapped together. If you are interested for the STL file to print your own housing, it is at following link.

There is definitely a market for the casing. I have a broken tab on the top as well. Whatever it is made from has to be able to withstand gasoline fumes.
Have you had a chance to scan the top part of the assembly to create the file? I have a friend that used the file you put up and printed it using PLA material. Looks good. Only thing I am concerned with is the surface finish at the bottom of the cup inside the part. Does the valve seem to be sealing ok?
Thanks in advance.
I have not had a chance to scan the top part yet. I did end up acquiring the 3d printer that I printed the test part on, so I can send you one if you PM to see if you experience a difference in fit or sealing an give feedback if the design needs to be changed.
I have not yet installed this in my car (in shop getting interior work) so can not say if it works properly or not. In comparison to the original when all put together, they both act similar, which is to mean, that when I blow through or apply vacuum on the fitting by mouth, I can do so at low levels. With increased effort (by mouth), it doesn't seem to flow. If I hook up to air compressor at relatively low pressure, I can get it to open and bleed off.
I've placed the original CAD file on GrabCAD so others can download an editable file and make any changes to design.
