Fuel vapour separator (models from 1985) - removal and refitting
Caution: Refer to the precautions in Section 1 before proceeding.
Removal
1 On SOHC models, the vapour separator is
located on the left-hand side of the engine
compartment. On CVH models, the vapour
separator is located on the right-hand side of
the engine compartment (see illustrations).

2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Identify the fuel hose locations as an aid to refitting, then disconnect and plug the hoses.
4 Remove the two securing screws and withdraw the vapour separator.
Refitting
5 Refitting is a reversal of removal, ensuring
that the fuel hoses are correctly connected. If
the hoses were originally secured with
crimped type clips, discard them and use new
worm drive clips.
