Whitecap Fuel Vent - Round Head, Straight Shaft, 5/8" Hose

The Whitecap Fuel Vent with round head and straight shaft is a marine-grade ventilation component designed to prevent pressure buildup and vapor lock in fuel systems. This 5/8" hose fuel vent serves recreational boats, RVs, and small engines where proper fuel tank breathing is essential for safe, reliable operation. Fuel vents protect tank integrity and engine performance by allowing air exchange while preventing fuel spillage or contamination.

Built by Whitecap, a trusted marine hardware manufacturer, this fuel vent features a stainless steel screen that filters debris, insects, and water while maintaining airflow. The round head design minimizes water entry during rough conditions, while the straight shaft provides simple, straightforward installation into deck or tank fittings. The 5/8" hose connection accommodates standard marine fuel line tubing, ensuring compatibility with most OEM and aftermarket fuel system configurations. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from saltwater exposure and fuel vapors, extending service life in harsh marine environments.

Boaters, RV owners, and small engine technicians rely on this vent to eliminate fuel system pressure and vacuum issues that can reduce engine power or damage tanks. Installation typically requires a deck-mounted fitting or tank-side connection; the straight shaft design allows flush mounting without complex adapters. This component is ideal for replacement or upgrade applications where original equipment vents have corroded, clogged, or failed. Routine inspection of the stainless steel screen maintains peak ventilation and prevents fuel system problems during the boating season.
