Tank breather valves £5.99 NTDWM

Just bought one of these and waiting for it to arrive.
Not bad at £5.99 including postage.
It is used for motoX bikes normally, but the seller told me that it breathes both ways unless inverted.

The auction says one way valve so I doubt it. Email him.
I emailed the guy for the ones I have shown to check that it breathes in and out and he confirmed that they do.
I will check again when I get mine. If it doesn't do what I asked, then it will be going back!

There is no sva rule regarding breathers. As long as your fuel system does not leak, it will pass.
I fit this type for my own safety in the event of a roll over.

I've got a pair of these in a very fetching anodised blue if anyone needs some. £3 each including post.

I had them fitted for a few months but changed them for another type as they were not right for my twin tanks setup.

U2U me with your address if interested

They fit a small pipe, I would think about 1/4".
My one has arrived and I have checked that it will breathe both ways except when inverted.
Considering similar ones cost £23 from thinkautomotive at £5.99 they are a bargain and at only £3 a steal!
