 Jan, Bart is not referring to the carbon cannisters, but the vapour
separation cannisters which are in the c pillars. In the series 2 XJ6,
the only thing in the C pillars is the piping, which uses gravity to
separate the fumes and liquid, sending the liquid back to the tanks, and
the fumes to the carbon cannister under the wheel arch. In the V12
version of the series 2, as per my manual, there are vapour separators,
which look something like the fuel coolers in the engine bay, which
sit in the c pillars and do the same job.  The manual is a bit unclear
on which cars had it. Either it is a V12 unique thing, or is meant for
US cars.
 To access the vapour separators, take out the back seat, seat belts
and rear parcel shelf. You can then see the plumbing under the rear
screen. The vapour separators should be on the sides of the screen
under the trim. (that's what it looks like in the manual anyway....maybe
they put them somewhere else, like in the boot in the US..)
