When i go to fill up the tank on the Gartrac (all 15 quid of it!) you have to do it very slowly or the whole lot starts shooting back out and ruins the loafers Behind the rear quarter is a fuel tank breather set-up (if you can call it that) which looks like it started life on a Sierra cossie? Now what i need to know is....What exactly do i need if i replace that lot? Surely the breather pipe from the top of the tank to atmosphere and a small hole in the petrol cap is sufficient?? Also is this thing not functioning correctly the cause of the tidal wave of Optimax i have to try and avoid every time i fill up??? And could this also be the cause of fuel smells in my garage as there are no leaks!

Come on guys someone must know about this

 

They always a bitch like that anyway, mine does it sometimes.... but ive just stripped all mine apart and re assembled and yes, there is one pipe that goes to the atmosphere thats it, oh and the standard vented fuel cap, I assume it has a standard jobbie?

 

check that the pipe isnt kinked mate

i remember when i change my tank i kinked the breather that goes to the filler neck to the tank, didnt realise until i had super unleaded all over me

 

be careful with your loafers

pm sent by the way, nothing to do with this though
