Where is that cannister and valve located. I can see it in the Bentley asca part of the fuel tank venting system But the hose coming from it goes to a port on top of the engine air filter housing. And it has a cap on it like it was made to go there, effectively blocking anything going in.

I believe that hose should connect to the charcoal (EVAP) canister purge valve.
