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.

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.
