Fuel vapor separator and fuel in Vapor Canister

Where on the gas tank is this located? If it was just added at some point and located too low on top of the tank, it could be the reason for raw fuel filling the charcoal canister when the tank is overfilled.

Pictured is the stock location for the breather port.

Thanks for the reply LIV1S. it is in that location. This fairly early 1971 has an aluminum tank wrapped in fiberglass. The plate the vapor separator is welded on in the exact spot as your picture.

I've worked on an early pushbutton (#1252) that also has an aluminum tank. It didn't even have a vent or vapor canister.

Check the routing of the hose and the location of the charcoal canister. The hose on mine goes up and over the gas tank shield, along the firewall to the canister on the passenger side.

If your gas tank has an extended filler neck installed, like mine, you will more likely have raw fuel overflow the vent every time you overfill the tank and you see fuel at the extended filler neck (which is above the roof of the tank).
