Sea-Dog Straight Fuel Tank Vent, 5/8 in Hose, Black
Sea-Dog Straight Fuel Tank Vent, 5/8 in Hose, Black — Product description
This is Sea-Dog's straight-style fuel tank vent, the fitting that lets your built-in gas tank breathe. Molded from black glass-reinforced nylon so it won't corrode, and sized for 5/8 inch inside diameter fuel hose. A small part that keeps your fuel system safe and your motor from starving for air.
Every built-in fuel tank needs a vent, and this is the straight-style fitting from Sea-Dog that gets the job done. As you draw fuel from the tank, air has to come back in to replace it, otherwise the tank pulls a vacuum and your engine starves. This vent handles that, and it lets the tank breathe when fuel expands on a hot day at the dock.
It's molded from glass-reinforced nylon in black, so it shrugs off salt, sun, and spray without corroding the way a metal vent can. The barb is sized for 5/8 inch inside diameter fuel hose, which is the standard run on most gas tanks. The straight body mounts through the hull or transom where you've got clean access on the back side.
If you're replacing a cracked or weeping vent, match the hose ID first. This one's built for 5/8 inch ID hose. Simple part, but a working vent keeps your fuel system safe and your motor running right.
