Tips and tricks - How to stop the fuel vents from crimping


 

Some owners have mentioned the fuel vent tubes are able to bend over and
crimp, possibly stopping the fuel supply because it can cause a vacumn
in the tanks. We have 'discovered' another idea which works really well
and it involves putting a piece of heavy duty fuel tube inside the
existing clear tubing, this
way the tube will make the bend without crimping, we also have tried a
couple of plastic 90 degree bends from water irrigation systems but they
are a lot more mucking around.

The Brit's have just started using a coiled wire, wrap some stiff wire
around a small tube several times, remove the breather and insert the
wire on the bend, so far it works but i worry about the chances of rust
etc... a couple of years down the track.
