Radium Engineering Fuel Vent Charcoal Canister - Universal - 20-1828-00

The Radium Engineering Fuel Vent Charcoal Canister (Part # 20-1828-00) is a universal, newly redesigned charcoal canister engineered to purify and eliminate fuel vapors that escape through your fuel tank or fuel cell vent system. Whether you're building a dedicated race car, a track-day weapon, or a high-performance street machine with a custom fuel cell, this canister gives you a clean, professional solution to the persistent problem of fuel odors in enclosed garages and trailers — without adding any restriction to your vent line airflow.

Key Features & Benefits

• Activated Carbon Filtration: The canister is filled with activated carbon media that is effective at trapping fuel vapors from the vent system, neutralizing odors at the source rather than masking them.
• No Airflow Restriction: Despite its vapor-trapping capability, the canister does not impede air flow through the vent line — a critical requirement for competition fuel cells that need unrestricted venting to function safely and correctly.
• Large 16AN ORB Female Ports: The canister features large 16AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) female ports for a robust, leak-free connection to your vent plumbing.
• Included 10AN Reducers: Two adapter fittings are included to reduce the 16AN ORB ports down to 10AN ORB (female), giving you flexibility to match your existing vent hose size without sourcing additional hardware.
• Any-Orientation Installation: The canister can be installed and used in any orientation, making it easy to integrate into tight or unconventional fuel system layouts found in race cars and custom builds.
• Newly Redesigned: Radium Engineering redesigned this canister to improve performance and usability — the current-generation unit reflects those refinements.
• Serviceable Design: A separate service kit (20-1828-SK) is available, which includes replacement activated charcoal media and filter components, meaning you can refresh the canister rather than replace the entire unit over time.
• Universal Fit: Designed to work across a wide range of applications — competition fuel cells, custom fuel tanks, and any build where vent odor control is needed.

Fitment

This is a universal part and is not vehicle-specific. It is designed to install inline with any fuel cell or fuel tank vent hose where vapor control is desired. It is commonly used in competition vehicles, dedicated track cars, and custom street builds equipped with aftermarket fuel cells or modified fuel systems. Because fitment depends on your vent hose size and AN plumbing configuration rather than a specific vehicle, it is compatible across makes and models as long as the vent line plumbing matches the 16AN or 10AN ORB port sizing (adapters included). If your application uses a different hose size, Radium Engineering also offers variant part numbers (e.g., 20-1828-08 for ½-inch hose) — contact us to confirm the right configuration for your build.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Radium Engineering fuel vent charcoal canister actually do?

It installs inline with your fuel tank or fuel cell vent hose and uses activated carbon media to trap fuel vapors before they escape into the surrounding environment. This eliminates the fuel smell that is commonly noticed when a car is stored in an enclosed garage or trailer. Critically, it does this without impeding airflow through the vent line.

What port sizes does the 20-1828-00 use, and what adapters are included?

The canister's native ports are 16AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) female on both ends. Two adapter fittings are included in the box that reduce those ports to 10AN ORB female, so you can connect it to either 16AN or 10AN vent plumbing right out of the box.

Can I mount this canister in any position?

Yes. The canister is designed to be installed and used in any orientation, which gives you flexibility when routing it through tight or unconventional chassis layouts.

Can the activated carbon media be replaced, or do I need to buy a whole new canister?

Radium Engineering offers a separate service kit (part number 20-1828-SK) that includes replacement activated charcoal media and filter components. This means you can service and refresh the canister over time rather than purchasing an entirely new unit.
