What is this?

Postby Spudmurphy » Thu Apr 13, 2017 8:17 pm

Well I have a nice shopping list of parts for Arran.
Before I make my order what is this ? next to the fuel filler - I'm guessing a filter for the vent return? Help?
- can't get the bloody screws to budge despite soaking in penetrating oil over the last couple of weeks! :-(

Oh I have been doing some things to my car over the last weeks and will shortly update my rest thread.
- loads of Dubai sand everywhere too!

Roll over valve.

The rollover valve is designed so that in the unlikely event that you should "roll" your DeLorean, this prevents liquid fuel from leaking out of the fuel tank and travelling through the vapor hose to the canister. Sometimes a bad one can contribute to fuel smells from the front of the car, or in the passenger compartment. Interestingly, these were originally sourced from Chrysler, and were used in certain Jeep vehicles with the 15-gallon steel fuel tanks under part number 4002012.
