Dave (IC2) already shared his experience in your earlier post, including the fact that the charcoal canister doesn't work for a vented system, and his solution, which was a coil of tubing in the vent routing. Seems to me you have the answer, or at least one that worked for Dave.

Thanks Roger for bringing Dave's(IC2) thread up. I went back to re-read it and found I missed the last 2 pages!
Lots of good info in that thread!!

I used a puke tank and screened the lines inside and filled it with activated charcoal and attached it to a fuel filter and then on to the curley-q on top of the tank!
