Hi,

Cleaning up expansion tanks and putting in new grommets yesterday and there was so much caked on dirt that when removing the drivers sides expansion tank the stem broke of the float valve so wondering if anyone out there has one lying around.

Float Valve part number is 251 201 311 B.

Thanks
Bert

The expansion tanks are part of the fuel tank setup - there is a tank in both wheel arches connected to the pressure compensating line and breather tubes.

The float valves are positioned at the top of the expansion tank and connected via a T piece.

Here is a link to show what they look like -
