My baby has the canister under the front left fender *and* one above the tranny. More info on these components are in the Haynes manual and probably in the Bentley.

On Both T1 & T3, the charcoal canister gets fresh air from the blower pumped through it; on my '71, it's picked off of the left fresh air heater elbow immediately after at the fan housing. On T1, it comes off of the top of the fan shroud--on the right, I believe. The hose is ~1/2inch in diameter. Hmmm... I *think* that the air then flows to the air cleaner after leaving the charcoal canister... hmmm... ... My squareback is a '71 and has its charcoal canister in the same location as your '71 fastback. Perhaps the over-tranny location is a '71 thing (as opposed to a *squareback* thing). -Greg '71 squareback '63 Beetle
