Depending on the year, make and model of the vehicle it could be a "roll-over" valve to prevent fuel from spilling out in the event the vehicle was to roll over or it could be a tank vent valve for the EVAP system. More info needed please.

The service manual states there is a "fuel cut-off" valve which sends evaporated gas in the fuel tank to the EVAP canister in the engine compartment. The valve is located in the fuel tank. I am not sure if this is what you are referring to.

The fuel tank selector valve on a 1993 Ford F150 with a 4.9L engine is on the left side frame rail under the driver side floor pan forward of the side fuel tank in-line on the fuel lines. Follow the fuel lines from the side tank forward until you see the selector valve. The valve will have at least three fuel lines and one electric plug with wires plugged into it.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 1981 Honda CB 750 Custom?

I would guess that a cb650 and a cb750 would be the same so the fuel filter is in the shut off valve on the bottom of the fuel tank. You have to drain the tank. Unscrew the locknut securing the fuel shutoff valve to the fuel tank and remove the valve. Put rag under the tank to keep drips off motor - remove the fuel filter from the shutoff valve. Clean with a medium soft toothbrush and blow with compressed air. Replace if defective.
