sprinter fuel tank info. (1 Viewer)

anybody know how air gets into the fuel tank, as the fuel cap is unvented ,so when the fuel is used up you end up with a vacuum in the tank.
i asume there is a valve somewhere that must be blocked on mine making fuel delivery difficult
has anyone seen this valve, or can shed any light on this as i am having probs. with fuel delivery

A brief web search suggests there is a composite valve including a vent unit on the top of the tank. Access requires that the tank is 'dropped' away from the chassis. I suggest a call to your local MB commercial dealer might confirm this.

hey! thanx for the speedy response, i was afraid it was maybe a tank off job.
if my problem continues i may throw the fuel cap away......but don't tell anyone
