On my new to me FZJ80, the gas vapor smell in the cabin was pretty intense.
I checked the canister per FSM and it was blocked.
Figured I stay Toyota and ordered 77704-60290 the "Toyota OEM Genuine CANISTER SUB-ASSY, CHARCOAL"
It needed a bit of modification to fit, in that the canister has some plastic mounting lugs that needed to be ground off. Otherwise, perfect fit.
It was a little spendy at $219.
In the second picture, you can see the plastic lugs that need to come off. And you'll need about 10mm longer bolts for the canister brackets

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Driving around, it's like a new car - the smell is GONE. So yes, gas vapor smell in cabin was fixed with new charcoal canister. A 1 banana job.

Not an 80 but same process.


I elected to drill out the bb check valve.

Are you guys finding that this improves your fuel economy?
 
Thats a huge change!

That's after just replacing the charcoal canister? Or did you do other stuff at the same time?

16L/100km is about the best I see with a 5 speed mannish fzj80
14.7 mpg. Were you hypermiling?
