Another excellent suggestion! Thank you, GearheadGreg. 😁 Following your recommendation, I will put a screened grommet on the side of the trunk chassis opposite the fan, where gas vapor odors collect (none detected in the cabin or engine bay), in addition to a HEPA filter, and reverse the fan flow. Humidity in a tropical environment is constant, often about 73% throughout the year in my location, although it is far lower than in Florida. There is nothing I can do about that; thus, introducing humidity into the dust and rust-free bag will somewhat counteract the desiccant bags inside and the Zerust® anti-rust chemical integrated into the material. (For your information, this fan operates at around 53 CFM on high.) After 44 years of using rust prevention techniques including extensive waxing, periodic pouring of protective substances, and avoiding water cleaning in favor of quick wipe-downs with rapid waxes, while also refraining from driving in the rain, she remains intact!

The issue with only installing a Vapor Charcoal Canister is that it eliminates gas odor molecules but does not capture all gas vapors. Although it reduces gas vapors, they will still be discharged into the storage bag.

The fuel pump is located underneath the vehicle, connected via a fuel line that runs from the gas tank to the fuel pump and then to the engine; I do not believe there is a fuel pump situated immediately inside the gas tank. Nonetheless, if it really concerns me, I may connect an air hose to the vent end under the vehicle and direct it outside of the bag instead of using a fan.

My 1972 350 SL Model 107.04 predates the January 1973 federal pollution requirements, hence it lacks a charcoal canister and catalytic converter, allowing fumes to escape directly into the atmosphere underneath the vehicle. The gasoline lines in the engine compartment were compromised due to rodent gnawing. As I store my vehicle under my home without a garage, I am now using a California Car Cover Storage Zip Up Bag to prevent cats, rats, geckos, insects, and slugs from entering. The problem is that this also traps gas vapors that might ultimately harm the vehicle. To mitigate the issue, I used a compact computer cabinet fan to expel any gas vapors. Inquiries for the 107 experts: 1. What is your estimate of the duration of the positive venting flow after the park and shutdown procedure? I believe I read on this thread that I need wait about an hour, since the automobile must be cold to seal and store according to the specifications provided by Bag. 2. Should I postpone the reduction of leftover fumes? 3. Will the system resume vapor venting when the external temperature increases throughout the day? The average temperature range in Hawaii is 70°F at night and 85°F during the day (21°C to 29°C). As a precaution, I consistently use a secondary cover for the automobile to maintain the primary cover free from dirt and droppings while handling. I use an inexpensive $18 cover over this storage bag, which I clean with a hose as necessary. It protects the underlying storage bag from my cat's claws and hairballs, as she sometimes prefers to lie on top. Thank you in advance.

Are the regulations regarding front plates there indeed stringent? I had one when residing in downtown Chicago, since it was a violation for which parking attendants may issue a citation. Nonetheless, despite its need in Wisconsin and Illinois, I have not encountered a law enforcement officer addressing my lack of one in the last 12 to 13 years.
