• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Eliminating fumes in my Metris Van with stock charcoal cannister?

I have not done any travelling with my Husky recently as fumes are an issue. Will turn 70 in a couple of weeks so want to revisit my youth and take my bike north to ride.

My Sprinter was better as it was a larger space, and the van did vent to the rear. In the Metris my tank vent is a few feet away. Taken my Ducati V2 SF to the track 2 years ago in 110 degrees to Buttonwillow w/o any issues but it isn't a plastic tank and not vented as my bike is with the short vent. So, I do have my charcoal cannister and valve (shown), and wondered if that might address some of the raw fumes?

Rather not saw and install a roof vent. The passenger window open gives a little draw of air, but it is what it is. I could swap vents and hang the cannister for travel and swap when I ride or keep the old style host/vent and have a longer hose routed to my skid plate and attach to cannister for transporting.

Might this work? Copilot thought it might help. The Metris is such a great vehicle to bring the bike, but the fumes not so much.
