Vapor Vent 310854002

This vapor vent, also known as a vent valve or vent cap, is supplied by the original manufacturer for use with generators. It is designed to provide ventilation for the fuel tank by allowing air to enter and leave the tank as necessary. The vent prevents pressure from building up in the tank and interfering with the flow of fuel. Over time the vent may become clogged, or damaged leading to hard starting, fuel leakage, stalling, and the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere. It is recommended to inspect the vent before each use and replace any blocked vent promptly. To complete this repair, remove the faulty vent from the fuel tank and clean the mounting area. Thread the new vent on to the tank and ensure it is locked in place.
