Oh geez.. Looks like I'll have to spend some time on the ute this weekend as it could be one of those problems or possibly something else. I really have to get this sorted as i feel drowsy in it sometimes!!

I really don't think ud get cabin smell from the engine bay, there's a port straight into the fuel tank compartment behind the passanger seat and the fuel filler neck is right behind drivers window.... (This is where I believe ur problem is) one like from the canister goes to fuel tank, one goes to purge solenoid, think there's only 2? Maybe 3rd one breather?
