Beetle Fuel Tank Breather Elbow - Fuel Filler To T-Piece - 1969-79

This L-shaped fuel breather hose is designed to connect to the top of the fuel filler neck, providing a secure and reliable connection within the fuel tank ventilation system. Its pre-formed shape ensures correct routing and a tight fit, helping to prevent kinks, leaks or vapour loss.

The breather hose plays a vital role in allowing fuel vapours to escape safely from the tank while maintaining correct internal pressure. As fuel is added or consumed, air must enter and exit the tank to prevent vacuum build-up or pressure issues. A damaged or perished hose can lead to fuel smells, poor refuelling performance or even fuel leakage.

Manufactured from durable, fuel-resistant material, this hose is suitable for modern fuels including E10 and is built to withstand long-term exposure to petrol vapours and engine bay conditions. It is an ideal replacement for cracked, hardened or leaking original hoses, restoring proper fuel system ventilation and reliability.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the shaped design, making it a quick and effective fix for common fuel system issues.
