My TR is in an area that is relatively airtight, unlike the garage where it=
is the rest of the year. There is a slight fuel odor. There are no leaks s=
o that leaves the vented to air fuel tank. The vent pipe is easily accessib=
le and I=E2=80=99m wondering about attaching a charcoal canister temporaril=
y and plugging the canister outlet. Another possibility to plug tank vent f=
or the duration. Fuel level is less than 1/4. Thoughts?
