Kroggers, just thought you would want to know that one of the hoses you have blocked off is actually a vent hose that runs all the way to the rear of the car and exits under the the trunk floor just behind the bumper (maybe behind the foil heat liner in your case. In my case the heat sheild has been removed).

I found the vent pipe by blowing compressed air into both of hoses that are blanked in your case. One of them does not allow any air to move, the other does. With the one that does you will hear the air escaping at the rear. By your photo from earlier the vent pipe will be the green arrowed hose that previously attached to the top of the canister. By the diagram provided by Brad this is the hose that exits out the top of 6 and disappears to the top right of the picture. If you have not upset there original positioning it will be the lower of the two you have locked off.

I simply looped the hose from the tank (red arrow from above) with the one that exits the rear (green). The other is still blanked until I figure out how (or whether) to remove it. From the diagram we know it runs to the "tank vent valve" but I have no idea what that is or where it is

All of this was prompted by the fact that I was getting a smell of fuel in my car (which I had previously set up exactly as you have) whilst on the track. Hopefully this should fix it.
