Default Can purge solenoid be bypassed?

The charcoal canister purge solenoid on my ute has broken and giving me an annoying vaccuum leak.

Can I unplug is and bypass it by running a line (where the solenoid hose usually goes in) from the manifold into charcoal canister to stopp the fuel smell.

the vaccuum leak sound from the solenoid (it broke on the canister side) was always on, from start to stop, so I think the solenoid was always on anyway.
