The vent occurs about 1cm farther out on the early filler pipe. When they 
changed over to the screw-in cap they had to move the vent closer to the 
tank, so the distance between the grommet part and the elbow into the vent 
got shortened.

I have seen drawings that looked like aftermarket versions which had double 
grommet slots to fit either style. Anyone here actually seen one of these? I'd 
love to find the maker.
