I have a devon camper ( not sure if thats relevent to this specific van) and up in the front passenger wheel arch is a bottle that looks like a window wash bottle, it has 3 very rusty pipes exiting from it and no visible means of filling it. Does anybody know what it is and is it important??

Thanks in advance

The window was bottle is filled by lifting the carpet at the front (drivers side for my Westy)

If its not the wash bottle it may well be one of the petrol expansion tanks, do you have one on the other side?

Yeah i found the washer bottle under the carpet at the front. A petrol expantion tank would explain it as the pipes seem to be going towards the top of the petrol tank, i cant see over the top of the beam to see were they go, they are serving no pupose anyway as they are completly shot.

Can these be replaced and if so is it hard to do?

jaydog,

Sounds very much like your describing the fuel tank expansion bottles- there is one in each front wheel arch. The are important and you deffinatley don't need to fill them up!

The washer bottle fillup pointis in the passenger foot well under glovebox/under the matting/carpeting

so should i renew the pipes then?

Have a look here in the wiki https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Fu ... ther_tanks


My van leaks a small amount of petrol from the left hand tank if I fill it right up.

Replace the hoses and the gromets in the tank.

they will let water in to the tank... and we all know that water don't burn

I've blocked mine off... the tank rarely gets filled over a 1/4
