Vent Valve

#1 Post by Vin » Sat Jun 24, 2017 9:59 am

Anyone had any experience with a check valve for fuel tank breathers?

The valve I have fitted to my fuel tank breather allows small amounts of fuel to still bypass it so looking for a good quality small valve 5-6mm fitting to a plastic pipe inlet and outlet that doesn't allow any fuel seepage.

I have done a little hunting on the inlet but was hoping someone has had good results from ones they have used?

Hi Vin
I fitted a very small inline YAMAHA TZ breather to my Spondon 500 and works a treat
I got it from Denis Trollop, wasnt cheap though, about £25 but I needed it.

Best regards
Johnny C.
