    Default Vapour separator on filler neck?

    I was looking at the filler neck on my VS I sedan today, in preparation to replace the vent hoses. However, there is no vapour separator clamped to the filler neck as the Gregory's manual shows, and the workshop manual I have. The build date is 5/96 - were the vapour separators removed from the late series I models or has it been removed from my car? Also noticed that a previous post (Leaking Fuel Breather Lines?) appears not to have the separator either.

    Well on quick inspection, it seems there are no other ports at the top of the filler neck for the vapour separator lines to go into. So it would seem that there is not meant to be a vapour separator - Unless anyone else can shed some light on this?

    the vapour lines usually run to the charcoal canister and vapour is burnt via combustion. The early models had breather lines from the tank to the filler neck
