# 21229729 Sleeve | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A small protective or spacing sleeve used in a Volvo Penta fuel-tank or fuel-system installation. It supports the associated fastener, hose or mounting point and prevents direct wear between adjoining components.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Maintains correct spacing and alignment
-   Helps protect the supported component from abrasion
-   Exact position controlled by the installation parts list for your engine
-   Direct replacement where part number 21229729 is specified
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta marine or industrial application

## 🔌 Function

Maintains the required spacing or protects the fastener and supported component from wear.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Sleeve splitting or deformation
-   Excessive movement at the mounting point
-   Fastener no longer tightening correctly
-   Abrasion of the adjoining hose or bracket
-   Missing spacer after component removal

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check which way round the sleeve goes before the old one comes out — sleeves are rarely symmetrical, and one end is usually chamfered or stepped to lead into the bore
-   Clean and inspect the bore it seats in; a sleeve takes its final shape and fit from that bore, so corrosion, scoring or an oval bore will spoil a new part
-   Draw or press the sleeve in square with the correct tool rather than driving it in — a sleeve started crooked will nip, and the material displaced by a hammer blow never fully recovers
-   Renew any O-ring, seal or gasket that seats against the sleeve while it is out, and lubricate on assembly as the manual for your engine specifies
-   Confirm the sleeve is fully home to the depth or flush condition the workshop manual gives before reassembling anything on top of it
