Default Rx300 Charcoal Fuel Vapor Purge Canister Ports ??

Hello All,

Can anyone identify these four ports on where they come from to connect to the Canister ?

Want to know which one is for the Gas Tank

Thank you

If my memory serves me right:

1. Air inlet
2. Purge
3. Vent
4. Evap — fuel tank

Thanks for the information
Questions
1. Air inlet - Air from where? There is a hose on this one that goes up someplace ?
There is a bigger hose in picture far left next to the 1 has a Hose open to the air already
2. Purge
3. Vent
4. Evap — fuel tank - is this from the tank check valve?
Having trouble getting gas in tank - want to put slight vacuum on it ti see if can open or slight pressure on gas tank to see if air comes out hose
Thanks

Really picking my brain here. lol
Air inlet is coming fron the CCV up by the airbox
Purge is also up from the engine are where the GREEN access port for the evap system is.
Vent is also coming from the tank where it tee's in with the ORVR valve.
ORVR operation is,
during refueling, low pressure above the diaphragm in the onboard recovery valve lifts allowing fuel vapors into the charcoal canister. At the same time, the air drain valve opens and the charcoal absorbs the fuel vapors. <--- could be your issue as well (aside from a plugged up canister) if its stuck and not allowing fuel vapor to the Canister.

I would disconnect this corrugated Vent hose and see if you can refuel normally.
