Default Backyard gas vent filter

Needed to vent tank and this is how I did it.
Carbon filter material
Some activated carbon from local pet shop
Co2 cilynder
Micro filter
2x 1/4" bungs
Aluminum tubing ( placed some carbon mesh inside ) to prevent clogs
Line going to tank is isolated from loose carbon.
Access on top to replace carbon if needed
Will put a safety valve on the line

Very cool. I was going to build myself a couple. Did you cut the C02 tank in two pieces and weld it back together?

Well that beats my solution which was to give the vent line a couple of loops and then zip tying some pantyhose on the end.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but my curiousity is killing me, what exactly is this used for and where? Is this like a home made version of the II Much fuel vent?
