90° Plastic Fuel Tank Vent (Ø16 mm)

This 90° plastic fuel vent provides reliable functionality at an affordable cost. Designed to ventilate gasoline and diesel tanks, it prevents unwanted pressure build-up and vacuum formation. As your engine runs or temperatures change, the vent maintains continuous airflow – fuel vapors safely exit the tank, while fresh air enters. This keeps the fuel system stable, ensuring a consistent fuel feed to the engine and safer refueling with reduced risk of splash-back.

The vent is made from tough engineering plastic that withstands the chemical effects of fuel. The material won’t rust or degrade, making it suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The version with a stainless steel trim ring combines style and strength – the AISI 316 bezel reinforces the vent opening against impact and UV exposure. Even the all-plastic variant is UV-stabilized to prevent cracking or yellowing over time under sunlight.

Compatibility: The Ø16 mm hose connection means easy integration – this size is standard for many small boat fuel systems. You can attach your existing vent hose directly to the barb and secure it with a clamp. The vent’s compact body fits into tight spaces for versatile installation options.

Installation & Usage: Mount the vent high on the hull or transom to avoid water ingress in rough conditions. Drill a hole to fit the threaded neck, insert the vent, and tighten the back nut. After connecting the hose, ensure its run to the tank is straight and free of kinks. Once installed, this vent works passively – no user interaction is required.

Maintenance: The plastic vent is virtually maintenance-free. We recommend periodic checks for obstructions – for example, make sure the small vent opening isn’t clogged by debris or insect nests. If a metal mesh screen is present, gently clean it if dust or salt accumulates.
