DETAIL

It has been brought to our attention through the product report system, that a number of customers are experiencing a blow back difficulty when refuelling there vehicles .(diesel or petrol), Investigations have shown the cause to be the fuel tank breather pipe, under the present process the breather pipe is supplied fitted onto the fuel filler and attached to the fuel tank on production. This can cause a twist in the breather pipe on assembly.
