I have this info on good authority that Toyota realised they had this problem way, way back
& their only cure was to take the pipe off of the passenger side of the vapour trap where it goes into the chassis
& route a longer section of pipe facing towards the rear of the car, this can be attached using cable ties to the top of the handbrake cable, this is perfectly safe as any fumes exit to the rear of the car
& not into the engine bay.

& take it with you to the shop, they should be able to match the diameter for you.

I bought the fuel vapour trap and it didnt fix the problem.Is adding the new pipe easy to do and where would you buy a pipe long enough to do this?
thanks
