Biaungdo Black Fuel Tanks Remote Mount Vent Valve, 5/16 Inch Hose Barb Size Tank Vent Line Replacement Part

Fill a sealed tank and the air has to go somewhere. Pressure builds as fuel warms and expands; a vacuum forms as the engine draws the tank down. Either one will starve the fuel line or push fuel back out past the filler when you next open it.

Mounts away from the tank

This is a remote-mount vent, so the valve sits at the end of a vent line rather than screwed into the tank shell. That gives you somewhere sensible to put it — high in the boot, or up under a guard, clear of splash and away from a filler neck you would rather not drill. It runs on standard vent line systems and can also be set up with a vent valve bracket and a long filler neck, though neither of those is supplied in this pack. The body is aluminium and steel, finished in black.

A mesh screen at the opening

A vent is an open path into the tank, which makes it an open path for dust, insects and grit as well. The mesh screen across the valve stops the obvious debris before it travels down the line. That counts for more on a dirt-road vehicle or a machine that sits outdoors between uses. The screen needs no maintenance beyond a look over while you are already under there.

Key features

• Remote mounting: sits inline on the vent hose, so you choose where it lives.
• 5/16 in hose barb: pushes onto standard vent line and clamps up.
• Mesh debris screen: keeps grit and insects out of the vent path.
• Aluminium and steel body: black finish, for a part that lives out in the weather.

Worth checking first

• The supplier does not state which fuels or tank types this valve is rated for, and says nothing either way about petrol. Confirm suitability before fitting it to a petrol tank.
• No standard or approval is quoted for this part. If the tank forms part of a registered vehicle's fuel system, the compliance check sits with you or your installer.
• Route and secure the vent line so it cannot chafe or trap liquid fuel, and check the barb joint for weeping before the vehicle goes back into service.

A cheap part to sort out before a pressure problem turns into a fuel spill.
