Default Fuel Tank Separator Vent
I have a new fuel tank for the 72 C3. How do you tell if the old fuel separator vent is operational or it needs to be replaced? There are no cracks or visible damage. I received the car non-running so there is zero history on the vent.

Hello,
Typically if you can hear the ball in the separator rattle when you shake it the separator will work.
Regards....
