The Shop48 Vapor Trapper™ is a high-quality billet aluminum charcoal canister that eliminates fuel odors from vented fuel tanks. Its specialized charcoal media traps vapors, keeping garages and cabins fume-free.
Designed for universal fitment, it installs easily in line with your fuel tank vent hose and supports almost every inlet/outlet setups. It’s also fully serviceable and rechargeable for long-lasting performance.
Built for tough conditions, the Vapor Trapper™ eliminates odors without restricting airflow or affecting fuel system function—ideal for classics, hot rods, trucks, or boats.
Proudly made in the USA and trusted by pros nationwide, it's available in black or silver anodized finishes for a clean, durable look.
The Vapor Trapper™ can be easily mounted using two 2-1/2” clamps put in line with your fuel tank vent line. Use #6 AN O-ring Boss fitting (barb fittings with a rubber fuel hose or a threaded AN fitting for a more custom installation). Make sure to install the Vapor Trapper™, or at least the inlet line, far above the fuel tank to avoid liquid fuel getting into the filter. Fuel getting into the Charcoal media drastically reduces the performance of this product. If this occurs, please contact us so we can recharge your Vapor Trapper™.
A few years back, Owner Tom Mischke was presented with a challenge when a customer brought him a 1962 Jaguar that was emitting a strong gasoline odor. Looking at the fuel tank, Tom sought to find a way to capture the vapors that were being vented directly into the atmosphere. Knowing that activated charcoal is used to capture odors, Tom looked everywhere for an existing charcoal canister that could be adapted to automotive use. When he couldn’t find one, he decided to make it himself.
Our most recent innovation, Vapor Trapper, is poised to change the classic car hobby in a major way. Before EPA regulations mandated closed-loop fuel systems, gasoline vapors were an annoyance that had to be tolerated by every auto owner. Today, people just expect their vehicles TO NOT SMELL LIKE GAS and if they do – it’s a sign that something is terribly wrong! But if you own a vintage car, truck, or even a modern-built hotrod with a new fuel-injected engine, you probably go out into your garage, and it smells like gas.
The result is Vapor Trapper, a universal billet aluminum charcoal canister that traps gasoline vapors before they can escape from the fuel system. Easily installed anywhere above the fuel tank level, the Vapor Trapper absorbs gas odors while allowing the fuel tank to vent normally. The charcoal lasts for a long time. When it becomes saturated, simply unscrew the top, replace the charcoal, and the Vapor Trapper is ready to go. Vapor Trapper is now installed on every car that passes through Tom’s shop.
