## 🔌 Function

Lets air escape from the fuel circuit and returns it to the tank, so trapped air cannot stop the engine drawing fuel.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Engine hard to start or hunting after a filter change, as air stays trapped
-   Diesel weeping at a union or along the pipe
-   Pipe cracked at a bend or blocked internally
-   Union nuts loose or their threads damaged
-   Chafed patch from vibration against a bracket

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the bore is clear before fitting — a blocked vent pipe gives symptoms that look like a failing lift pump
-   Support both unions while tightening and refit the original clips so the pipe cannot vibrate

## 📦 Condition

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
-   Brand new
-   Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
