fuel expansion tank float valve gromet

[Shaundon]

Anyone know where I can get one of these?

No one!?

after a bit of googling

Seems you can get this on gowesty in the states busshop in germany or mechatechnic in france

as well as a few other sites in Holland Australia or Russia even

Trouble is they want about 20euros for delivery which makes a grommet very expensive!
Why does delivery from Lille to here (surrey) cost allot more than Lille to Toulouse when we are allot closer! (so much for the single european market)

Why does no one in UK sell these things...

This looks the same.

Does look the same but i'm pretty sure from the number (N 901 004 01) that's the smaller grommet (12,8 x 21mm) for the breather pipe in the fuel tank not the bigger one that fits the float valve on top of the expansion tank (N 901 005 01) ( 23 x 35mm ).

small one

We've got same vans, and my fuel tank is out and all bits are laid on floor. From your initial post and description.....sorry but don't understand which bit you actually mean? Can you be a bit more specific fella? TA

Here's a pic of all my fuel tank bits laid out, before I started replacing things (NB: one bit is cut in half)

Hi Jonanthan

Its the grommet circled in red here



I've spoken to brickwerks and they say they are getting them in from germany in the next couple of weeks so hopefully will get one then...

Ah, I see now. Didn't even know that had a valve in there! Live and learn!
