Show me a car that has a sealed system that actually runs. They are all
vented through the charcoal canister. Water vapor can still get in as
well as the amount that is already absorbed into the ethanol in the gas.

Dri-Gas can be helpful if you are using gas that has been stored a while
or that came from a store with low fuel sales. Or if you run straight
gas without ethanol like I do in all the small engines and vehicles when
possible.
