The Radium Engineering charcoal canister purifies odors that emit from the fuel tank vent system. It is designed for both EFI and carbureted fuel systems.
Depicted above is how easy a Radium Fuel Vent Charcoal Canister (shown right) can be implemented with an existing Radium Fuel Cell Vent Kit (shown left).
TESTING
1. To test for a restrictive pressure drop through the charcoal canister, a quick flow Radium Engineering dry break dump can was used. Results showed a negligible difference between a charcoal canister installed or not installed on the fuel vent.
2. Fuel vapor measurements were taken with a combustible gas detector which detects 50 ppm to 10,000 ppm.
All probe testing was measured inside the atmopsheric exit of the fuel tank vent.
-Without the charcoal canister installed, the gas detector maxed out over 10,000 ppm of fuel vapor.
-With the charcoal canister installed, the gas detector did not measure any fuel vapor (<50 ppm).
CONSTRUCTION
The 3-piece charcoal canisters are CNC machined from 6061 aluminum. They are Type-II anodized for maximum corrosion resistance. The 16AN ORB female end caps (shown below) are sealed to the body with FKM O-rings.
The preassembled vibratory-packed carbon resides inside 150 micron strainers and anodized aluminum baffles (shown above). This prevents any loose carbon media debris to escape from the canister.
FUEL VENT CHARCOAL CANISTER KITS
NOTES:
1. For high flow fuel venting, the end caps on all fuel vent charcoal canister kits (below) feature large -16AN ORB female threaded ports.
2. For mounting, all charcoal canister kits (below) feature a 2-piece anodized aluminum billet clamp. Three stainless steel M5x0.8mm screws are used to mount the clamp to the vehicle and two additional M5x0.8mm screws are used to secure the clamp halves together.
20-0828-12 FUEL VENT CHARCOAL CANISTER, FOR 3/4IN HOSE
This kit is designed to use 3/4" fuel vent hose.
When used in combination with this vent kit (20-0484-12) it can be integrated seamlessly with a Radium Engineering fuel cell surge tank.
DIMENSIONS
The dimensions shown below are the same for all fuel vent charcoal canisters.
The diameter of the charcoal canister is 2.36" (59.8mm).
