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

the hoses were originally secured with
crimped type clips, discard them and use new
worm drive clips.
