Trap Fuel Vapors Before They Escape Your Competition Fuel Cell Vent Line
The Radium Engineering RAD20-1828-00 Fuel Vent Charcoal Canister is a universal inline canister designed to install in the vent line of competition fuel cells and performance fuel tanks, capturing and absorbing fuel vapors before they vent to atmosphere. The RAD20-1828-00 contains activated charcoal media that adsorbs hydrocarbon fuel vapors from the vent line, preventing vapor escape during thermal expansion and pressure equalization. The canister uses 1/2-inch hose connections for inline installation and is constructed with an anodized aluminum body for corrosion resistance and durability in the engine bay or chassis environment. Safe for use with all fuel types including E85 and other alcohol blends. The RAD20-1828-00 is a passive device , no electrical connections or active control required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RAD20-1828-00 used for?The RAD20-1828-00 installs inline in the vent line of a competition fuel cell or performance fuel tank. It captures fuel vapors before they vent to atmosphere, absorbing hydrocarbons through an activated charcoal media bed inside the canister body. It is commonly required for track events and road racing regulations that prohibit open fuel cell vents.
What hose size does the RAD20-1828-00 connect to?The RAD20-1828-00 uses 1/2-inch hose barb connections on both the inlet and outlet. Use 1/2-inch ID fuel-compatible hose for proper fitment. The hose barb design provides a secure slip-fit connection that can be clamped with standard hose clamps.
Is the RAD20-1828-00 compatible with E85?Yes. The RAD20-1828-00 is compatible with gasoline, E85, methanol, and other common motorsport fuel types. The anodized aluminum body and activated charcoal media are resistant to ethanol and alcohol fuel degradation.
Does the RAD20-1828-00 require any wiring or electrical connections?No. The RAD20-1828-00 is a fully passive device. It requires only inline hose connections in the fuel cell vent line. No wiring, sensors, solenoids, or active control is required.
How do I know when the charcoal media in the RAD20-1828-00 needs replacement?The charcoal media has a finite service life that depends on vapor exposure frequency and volume. If fuel odors become noticeable from the vent or the canister shows signs of saturation (fuel weeping), the media should be inspected and replaced. Contact Radium Engineering for replacement media availability and service intervals.
Can the RAD20-1828-00 be mounted in any orientation?For optimal performance, mount the RAD20-1828-00 upright or at a slight angle to prevent activated charcoal from settling or blocking the hose barb connections. Avoid mounting completely inverted unless specifically approved by Radium Engineering for your application.
Is the RAD20-1828-00 approved for SCCA, NASA, or other sanctioning body racing regulations?The RAD20-1828-00 is designed to meet the fuel cell vent vapor capture requirements common to many road racing sanctioning bodies. Confirm compliance with the specific technical regulations of your sanctioning body before use in competition.
Where is the RAD20-1828-00 manufactured?The RAD20-1828-00 is made in the USA by Radium Engineering, a manufacturer specializing in high-performance and motorsport fuel system components.
Installation Notes
- Identify the vent line on your fuel cell or fuel tank , typically a 1/2-inch ID hose routed to atmosphere
- Cut the vent line at a convenient inline location in the routing path
- Connect the inlet hose barb of the RAD20-1828-00 to the fuel cell or tank side of the vent line
- Connect the outlet hose barb to the atmosphere side of the vent line
- Secure both connections with hose clamps rated for fuel use
- Mount the RAD20-1828-00 body to the chassis using the included mounting hardware in an upright or slightly angled orientation
- Inspect all connections for leaks after the first refueling and at regular service intervals

Fuel Components Misc
Fuel system builds require dozens of small components that rarely get featured on their own but are essential to a leak-free, properly functioning setup. Miscellaneous fuel hardware includes everything from AN fittings and hose barbs to fuel cell foam, bung plugs, check valves, and return-line adapters that allow builders to connect aftermarket components to factory fuel circuits. In both EFI and carbureted applications, the reliability of the entire fuel system ultimately depends on the quality of each fitting, clamp, and connector in the line. Professional builders and DIY fabricators both rely on a well-stocked supply of these components to avoid mid-build delays. Popular Upgrades Top-selling miscellaneous fuel components include Earl's and Fragola AN-to-NPT fuel fittings for adapting custom fuel lines, Aeromotive weld-in bungs and NPT plugs for fuel cell fabrication, and Holley fuel line adapters for connecting late-model EFI rails to carbureted or aftermarket fuel systems.

Fuel Delivery
A properly designed fuel delivery system is the backbone of any high-performance engine build, ensuring the injectors or carburetor receive a consistent supply of fuel at the correct pressure regardless of engine load, RPM, or fuel demand. From factory replacement pumps keeping daily drivers on the road to high-flow in-tank modules supporting 1000-horsepower builds, the right fuel delivery components prevent lean conditions, injector damage, and fuel starvation at the worst possible moment. Modern EFI systems are particularly sensitive to fuel pressure variation, with even small drops causing misfires and power loss under hard acceleration. Whether you are restoring a factory system or engineering a purpose-built race setup, matching pump flow rate and fuel pressure regulation to your injector and engine requirements is essential. Popular Upgrades Top-selling fuel delivery components include Aeromotive Phantom in-tank fuel pump kits that retrofit into factory tanks without custom fa...
