The Perko Inc. Gas Tank Vent 5/8"HS is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of marine environments. Its construction from durable brass, finished with a brilliant chrome plating, provides excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion and oxidation, maintaining both its functional integrity and aesthetic appeal over time. This vent is specifically designed to allow your gasoline tank to 'breathe' properly. As fuel is used, air must enter the tank to replace the volume of fuel consumed, otherwise, a vacuum can form that can hinder fuel flow to the engine. Conversely, changes in temperature can cause air inside the tank to expand, creating pressure. This vent manages these dynamics, ensuring your fuel system operates without interruption and your engine receives a consistent fuel supply.

Beyond operational efficiency, this gas tank vent plays a vital role in safety. By facilitating controlled ventilation, it helps to prevent the buildup of flammable fuel vapors, reducing the risk of fire or explosion. The 5/8" hose barb ensures a secure and leak-free connection to your fuel lines, which is paramount for preventing fuel spills and vapor emissions. Perko is a renowned manufacturer in the marine industry, and this product reflects their commitment to producing reliable, high-performance components. Installing or replacing your fuel vents with Perko products is an investment in the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your vessel's fuel system, providing peace of mind on every voyage.
