Morning gents,
On hot days (which is most days here in Limpopo) there is a build up of pressure in the fuel tank of my 87 SFA petrol.
I'm sure it has been covered before but anyone help with what I have to look out for?
Many thanks

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank
Been discussed somewhere....you'll have to search I can't remember the topic, but it was fairly recent...
Have the same problem, breather hole in fuel cap etc all OK but still does it. Doesn't bother too much as I have an external pump for the EFi.
I just don't fill it up completely if the bakkie is not going to be driven for a few days....

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank - replace breather?
Does anyone perhaps know where I can buy a new "breather valve" in Pretoria or Nylstroom? Cannot get one in Ellisras, not even from the stealers!

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank
Drikus, ek is nie seker of dit 'n carbon filter is of wat nie nie.
Soos ek verstaan:
Die breather is basies 'n plastiek one-way valve wat druk ontlas wat opbou in die petrol tank agv pertol dampe. Op die petrolcap is die vacuum-breaker wat sorg dat die tank nie inmekaar trek as dit afkoel nie.
Meeste landcruisers het ook sulke breathers op brandstof tenk.

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank
Op my 87 SFA 4x4 sit die breather pypie bo op die tank aan die regterkant, nie deel van die inlaatpyp nie. Sal die een waarna jy verwys werk op my bakkie?Lollie wrote:Ek het myne by die stealers gekoop vir R196.71 na afslag plus btw

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank
Myne en joune is een en dieselfde.Die pypie wat uit die valve kom is ook die overflow pyp wat op sy beurt weer deur n rubber grommet in die chassis plug.Koppelaar wrote:Op my 87 SFA 4x4 sit die breather pypie bo op die tank aan die regterkant, nie deel van die inlaatpyp nie.

Re: Pressure build up in fuel tank
Het dit nooit vantevore gedoen ,eers nadat ek die ekstra petrol tank op gesit het.
Remember that petrol expands in heat & evaporates.
With the extra petrol tank in you have double the amount of petrol with double the amount of expansion & evaporation.
The second tank should have its own breather pipe to assist in this evaporation...
