• The fitting consists of a brass 90 degree elbow
and an plastic tube.
• The tube reaches to near the bottom of the fuel
tank and is shrunk onto the fitting.
• When diagnosing a fuel starvation issue do not
over-look the possibility of an air leak between
the elbow and the pick-up tube.

• The vent fitting regulates the amount of vapor
that escapes. It also allows air to enter the fuel
tank to take up room in the tank as the fuel is
used.
• The fitting consists of a plastic chamber that
contains a regulating orifice.
