Petrol tank breathers

Post by Oilline »

Are the little plastic fittings that the petrol tank breathers connect to available from anywhere ?

Float valve 251 201 311 A, still listed on ETOS at £10.45, though the rubber seal N 901 005 01 is gone. The valve is also used on the LT up to 1996 which may explain its possible availability.
