Charcoal Canister Help Needed

98 Explorer Eddie Bauer. SOHC.

I was replacing my air ride with the strutmasters kit this weekend. Since I was under there and have been fighting an emissions code, I also replaced the fuel filler neck. To get to te drivers side rear shock I needed to remove that rusty bracket that holds the canisters. It did not come out in one piece.

The problem I'm working on now is there was only what appeared to be an electrical harness attatched to the canisters. It was round and twisted to connect. Shouldn't there be some other kind of hose that connects to these from the gas tank possibly? What all is supposed to connect to these?

Here is a pic of what looks to be a broken piece on the top of one of the canisters. Is there supposed to be a hose of some sort that connects here?

Canister hose

I think the hose identified below goes to the charcoal canister.

Perhaps a previous owner lowered the tank to replace the fuel pump and did not disconnect the hose.

Awesome, I can track that hose down. Do you have any idea how it connects to the canister? Is it that broken piece I showed in the picture?

Does anyone happen to have a picture of where the tubes connect to the canister?
