Installing Carbon Canister

[Trooper]

Can anyone please tell me how to run the lines for my carbon canister? There was a paint tin size one in the car when I got it shoved in near where the oil filter is on the LHS of the engine bay, this was removed by a work shop a while ago.

I tracked down a standard size one with the bracket to mount on the front bar.

The markings on the top are : Fuel tank, VC and Purge on the top, and there is another fitting down the bottom.

There are two small diameter pipes that go from the plenum over the top of the coil cover. These are blocked off at the moment but which one goes where into the carbon canister? I think one goes into VC and the other in Purge, which leaves the fuel tank and the one down the bottom that needs to be connected somewhere.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

On your picture:

1 - VC

2 - Purge

(ie they cross over, top goes to bottom, bottom goes to top) and the last hose (fuel tank) on my car just routes downwards.

Thanks mate, any ideas for the one off the bottom?

Ahh ok that clip on the bracket might be for the fuel tank one, I assume the fuel tank one just clips into this to hold it facing down.

Need to put it in, not worth a defect.

I am getting crap fuel economy again (was o2 sensor last time) so I am putting carbon canister back in and changing the coolant temp sensor. Hoping that it will fix the problem.
