Product Information

Full details

The PetrolScooter Pitbike Fuel Petrol Tank Breather Pipe is an essential maintenance component for pitbike owners looking to prevent vacuum build-up in their fuel systems. Designed for bikes featuring fuel caps with integrated top vents, this product ensures consistent fuel flow during operation by allowing air to enter the tank as fuel is consumed. While it provides a reliable air vent, users should note it is specifically engineered for compatible fuel caps with an 11mm vent hole, so verifying your cap's dimensions before installation is necessary for a secure fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit all pitbike fuel caps?

It is designed for standard pitbike fuel caps with an 11mm top-vent hole. Please measure your specific cap before ordering.

What is the material of the bung?

The bung is designed to provide a secure fit into the vent hole, typically made of durable materials compatible with petroleum products.

Can I trim the clear pipe if it is too long?

Yes, the clear petrol pipe can be trimmed to your desired length using sharp scissors or a utility blade.

Is the anodised finish resistant to fuel?

Yes, the anodised finish is designed to withstand contact with petrol and typical motorcycle fluids.

Does this replace the entire fuel cap?

No, this is only the breather pipe and vent bung; it installs into your existing fuel cap.

Troubleshooting

Breather pipe keeps falling out of the fuel cap.

Ensure the fuel cap hole is exactly 11mm; if the hole has been enlarged, you may need a small amount of fuel-resistant adhesive or a new cap.

Fuel is leaking through the breather tube.

Check that the fuel level in the tank is not too high and ensure the bike is not being laid on its side during storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable anodised finish prevents rust and wear
  • Clear tubing allows for quick visual monitoring of fuel system health
  • Easy to install by simply pushing the bung into the existing fuel cap vent
  • Lightweight construction does not add unnecessary weight to the fuel cap

Cons

  • Requires a specific 11mm vent hole for a proper seal
  • Not compatible with fuel caps that lack a top-venting mechanism
  • Plastic tubing may harden over extended periods of heavy sunlight exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward. Begin by removing your old or damaged breather tube from your fuel cap. Clean the surrounding vent hole of any debris or dirt. Align the 11mm bung with the vent hole on your petrol cap and press firmly until it sits flush. If the fit feels loose, ensure the vent hole is not oval-shaped due to previous damage. To maintain the component, periodically check the clear hose for signs of brittleness or kinking. If you notice fuel starting to fill the tube, ensure your fuel tank is not overfilled. Clean the anodised nipple with a non-abrasive cloth to keep the finish looking sharp.
