bluespanner Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Because of the position of my fuel tank, (in the back) when i go round a left hand bend, my diesel spills out. I have a series 3 filler neck and cap. Now this is dangerous to bikers and besides, its expensive stuff is diesel. My question is, if i bought a defender type filler neck and vented cap like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-...Q2em118Q2el1247, is the cap smart enough to let air in but no diesel out? Is there any kind of one way valve? Cheers folks Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 standard on 90/110's & shouldn't let fuel out if the vehicle is correct way up & filler neck isn't filled to the brim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 only if the non return/vent valve or the cap rubber seal is faulty, mines fine in normal driving use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Out of interest I seem to have trouble brimming mine. I thinks there's an air lock. What would cause this? Faulty breather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 only if the non return/vent valve or the cap rubber seal is faulty, mines fine in normal driving use. My problem arises because my tank is on the floor in the back, making the top of the tank pretty much level with the filler. When i turn left, the diesel rushes to the right, up the neck and against the cap. So is the vent in the cap a one way device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
