WOW... Merlin motorsport!
I ordered a tank breather valve from Merlin abot 4.30 yesterday and it arrived at 10am today. Great service.

I've dealt with Merlin a few times now. The guys there are really knowledgeable and friendly, but I think they're let down by their
courier service. Out of the 4 occasions I've ordered bits from them, first was damaged in transit, the second was allegedly "left on my
doorstep" (open street, wasn't there when I got home, claim to have a note from me authorising such action), but the third and
fourth were spot on and as I requested a different delivery method, all was good.
I haven't been put off by the bad times, as on all occasions they've bent over backwards to help. They aren't the cheapest out
there but by far not the most expensive, and I can live with that for the knowledge and help they offer.

agree with the above, the times I've dealt with them they've been extremely helpful and knowledgeable but without treating me like a fool
as both times I was completely clueless about what I needed. Definately worth a few extra quid to end up with exacylt what I needed rather than what
they wanted to sell me.

I've been in there quite a few times and the guys always help you buy what you need, not flog you the most expensive thing they can get away
with.

What valve is it Adrian? i'm looking for something that lets the tank breath but also stop any spillage on trackdays

It's a 2 way breather valve. Allows both pos' and neg' presure escape but cuts off fuel flow from either surge or roll over.
It's part no' M-TRL7.
The one I was using (cheap one) failed in the Alps last week. It couldn't cope with the heat and sideways action.
You mean the "as featured in CKC" flames. The map is one I had done by Chip Wizzards in Rochdale. Made a massive improvement in the
drive and a bit more power. It only flames coming off full throttle at max revs.
