The fuel in the tank must vent as the temperature changes, where is it to go?

I am not saying this CarCoon is a bad thing I just have a few concerns.

In short, the blower fan must kept going 24/7/365 to keep the air circulating or cocoon inflated.

Hello,

Has anyone tried a product like Carbag? A member in my Jaguar club just recommended it and seems happy with his choice. I'm asking here hoping someone has had experience with both Carcoon and Carbag, and we can compare the two different approaches for storage.

What I like about a Carbag is that the air is NOT circulated. By adding a desiccant to the sealed environment, you ensure there is no humidity, and therefore no condensation regardless of temperature fluctuations. This simple approach is also cheaper in initial cost since there are no blower motors etc. Desiccants are relatively cheap, and can be used again and again.

Thanks,

ROD
