Liquid Vapor Separator: Service and Repair

REMOVE
1. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.





2. Working from beneath the vehicle, disconnect the evaporative control pipes from the green end of the "speedfit" connectors. To achieve this, manufacture a suitable tool with a forked end to fit into the two slots in the end of the connector as shown in the illustration below. Press down on the collet and while depressed pull the pipe from the connector.





3. Remove the four screws securing the vapor separator support plate to the body panel situated in the right hand side of the load space.
4. Withdraw the separator and pressure relief valves from the vehicle.

NOTE: While the pressure relief valves are renewable, the shut-off valve in the top of the separator is only available complete with a new separator assembly.


REFIT
1. Fit the separator and pipes into the vehicle side panel, if necessary using a new seal. Fit the self adhesive side to the separator. Secure with the four screws.
2. From beneath the vehicle, fit the pipes from the separator to the connectors. Push each pipe into the corresponding connector as far as it will go so that it is locked by the collet. Check that the pipes are free and not trapped or kinked. Secure the pipes to the under body clips.
