[Rovernet] Another set of rare bits required.

[via Rovernet]

Hi
You can replace the active carbon . Use carbon pellets  for fish tank 
filters from a pet shop . Treat the used carbon with care ,it may be  soaked 
with gasoline and could spontaneously ignite when exposed to air. I doused 
mine with water and sealed the wet carbon into a plastic bag before 
disposing of it into a HAZMAT waste collection .

Geoffrey, there is a fuel vapor pipe that runs through the cabin of the car 
at roof level. As I recall, this pipe joins up with other vapor control 
pipes under the sail panel on the right of the car. These plastic pipes are 
joined together with flexible tubing. The flexible tubing deteriorates and 
leaks fumes into the car.
I'm a bit hazy on all this as I had this problem on my 3500S about 25 years 
ago!
