Gasoline Smell After EGR Block off

[Chicken Patty]

Ok, so since I have done my EGR block off and deleted my emission hoses or what not, I get this fuel smell inside the car at any random time. Now, I know that there is a line from the tank that vents into the charcoal canister once the purge valve is activated and then routed to the intake. Now my questions are as follows:

1- Can that be the issue? I don't have this canister anymore since I deleted all my emission lines.
2- Can I just route a line from where the line coming from the tank purges to the intake just how it comes stock, only that there is no purge valve now, so I'm not sure if this will have some adverse effect since there will be intaking constantly and there is no purge valve to control when it should pass the gasses or not.
3- How can this be fixed?

You are correct in assuming that the smell is being caused by the vent line from the gas tank that used to connect to the charcoal canister. The best remedy is just to attach some vacuum line to the vent and run it down under the car to keep the smell out of your engine compartment/cabin.

Hope this helps!

I read the part of the inline filter and routing it under the car, I might do that. I'll read the full thread when I get home.

That thread was just a bunch of discussion and ideas. Nothing was ever proven or even tested. I just thought you might find it interesting since it applied. My gas tank vent line is routed down under the car behind the passenger wheel well.

Thank you Sounds like the most popular idea is that indeed, I will see if I get to it tomorrow. Fighting a really bad cold now so if I feel a bit better I'll get to it. Thanks bro.
