Fuel system vapours

Looking for input on how to control gas vapours.
My problem is pressure in the tank. I ended up drilli g a hole in the cap to allow pressure out but now dealing with fumes. Not a huge deal for me but my wife gets a headache at the SLIGHTEST hint of fumes in the car and although she doesn't complain its a problem.
I'm hoping to find a solution somehow using the stock charcoal canister from the '89 Tbird and the one way vented cap.
Any input greatly appreciated!

Interesting component... I’m not sure that is really going to do much for reducing “fume” scent in a guys garage or inside the car in my case (Model A, with an interior fuel tank). I have not bought it, and I have never seen it before, so talking out my backside, but could that just be a “hi-spot” or allow for some tank fume to expand into, Like a capillary tube and terminating into the sintered bronze 40 micron “filter”? Would that sinter bronze filter take the fuel smell (filter) so I couldn’t smell the gas fumes, I don’t think they do that?
Reading their instructions, there seems to be a lot of concern on the heat of the fuel tank; to me that reads expanding fume concern, giving a bit more space for it to de pressure and then not sloshing up and giving issue when filling up or running a race.
I am all ears, as I am to playing with ideas how to eliminate the fuel smell in my wife’s Model A.
Thanks for posting, Masciolj; I do hope it works for you and could help us.

Yes I hit on that company as well but I like Greg don't think it will deal with the smell problem.
I think the fumes need to go through a charcoal
filter and/or be introduced to the motor via something similar to the stock system.

I clicked on the link and found a chat box.
I explained my problem and after a back and forth
it was stated that fumes would be dramatically reduced or eliminated.,, So, 300$ US to find out the truth,,,,.
