Izso, due to very cramped space, this is the best photos I can get. It's Perdana V6.
I drove my car to workshop today, the foreman told me there was a strong fuel smell from my car, but I couldn't smell it. So I asked him was this can behind the bumper a charcoal canister, he said he didn't know. Obviosly the hose to the canister is broken.

Just one hose is broken and disconnected.

Just one hose is broken and disconnected.

Can check where the other hoses leads to, then probably can find out what it is......

i think that disconnected hose is the purge hose. If it is, then your purge hose on the throttle body supposed to be sealed/plugged. I might be wrong.
