The charcoal canister can over time stop scrubbing the petroleum fums, it becomes saturated
over time but their are four solutions, #1.)heat the unit in a stove at 450* for about two hours this will purge all the impurities from the charcoal and it will work for another 5 to ten years, but it could blow up, destroying your home and burning it to the ground. #2.)Open the canister dump the old charcoal, go to your local tropical fish store by a 1/4 pound of charcoal, refill the unit, it is as good as new, ignore the counter guy's questions about the size of your aquarium. #3 Run a hose up above the tank with a filter on the end to a inauspicious place where you can't see it. #4.) don't top off your tank right before you put the car in the garage, premium 91 octane starts to go bad in about 72 hours. As a side note , charcoal is the scrubbing agent in submarines to re-breathing units for the Seals and U.D.T., BUT the only time I ever noticed the smell was when my now X wife said, whats that smell??????, no wife no smell.That would make it 5 options.
