    the one running from the fuel tank to the canister (the fattest line) is the fuel vapour line
    you also have a vacuum running to the throttle body from the purge control valve on top of the canister (thinnest line)
    there is also a second one running to the throttle body, this is (I think) the vapour line after coming out of the canister. (2nd thickest)

    on the bottom of the canister there should be a hose that connects to nothing, this is just atmospheric intake.

    well do you know where they run on a vs?

    i have located the one from the fuel tank. and the top smallest line runs to the purge solenoid behind the engine, and the third line has only a short 2inch hose on it which just hangs in the engine bay. Where does this one go?

    if it just hangs it probably just the fresh air hose
