Charcoal Canister and vent line parts

[J33ps]

Hello!  I found a bunch of old threads about this but none of the links work anymore.  I can't seem to find any OEM parts either as they're discontinued.  Curious what I should do, my canister seems original so I thought it could use replacement.  What led to this is the fact that the rubber hoses are rotted and not even connected.  I inspected the steel line running to the tank and it looks rotted, near death if it's not already.

 

I'd like to refresh the whole setup.  I'll see if i can put eyes on the little elbows at the top the tank but I'm assuming those are okay.  What parts do I need to complete this entire setup?  I also notice mine doesn't seem to have any check valves (maybe built into the elbows at the top of the tank?) or a solenoid to purge.  This is a 1990 comanche with a 4.0 from a '98.

 

Current symptoms are strong gas smell randomly when parked but very strong gas smell in the cab when I fill the tank.  Goes away as soon as i start driving.  If this parts are such a pain I may just fix the rubber hose ends and hook it back up and if the smell goes away then I guess I'm good till that hard line quits.

The inner diameter of the hard line is very small, maybe 3/32". That said, you could certainly use 3/16" brake line to make a copy of the current, rotted one. At the tank, there are 2 vent/ rollover valves that join together near the fuel inlet/ outlet from the tank via 7/32" emission hose and connect to the EVAP hard line at/ near the fuel hard lines by the tank. The vent valves are still made by a few companies, including Dorman. The grommets that hold the valves in the top of the tank are also readily available. At the canister end, I used whatever I could find in my toolbox/ parts drawers for emissions connectors to make it happen. the large HDPE pipe that runs from the air filter box over to the canister goes on the larger port toward the front of the truck, the one marked 'purge' is capped, and the middle one goes to the hard line. The hard line terminates above and inboard of the brake booster. From there, 5/32" or 7/32" emissions hose to get to the canister.

I believe you can recharge your current one with fresh charcoal?  or did I imagine that?
