Subject:      Fuel Expansion Tank Valve Grommet: Use PCV Grommet?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

Van-cafe has these:
http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_1013_293/fuel_expansion_tankgas_tank_grommet.html

but for if someone were in a pinch....

I'm looking at Dorman products (Some Dorman products sold as "HELP") and
see various PCV grommets that might work:

http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-27687-42330.aspx
http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-4936-42055.aspx

Measuring a spare expansion tank and new rollover valve, I see:

15/16"  tank ID, 7/16" valve OD. I don't know how thick the OEM grommet is
though.

Since a PCV grommet is likely rated for oil, would it be ok for use with
fuel or fuel vapours?
