Heavy equipment typically operates in dusty, dirty conditions and a generic Quick-Fill tank vent has no means of preventing airborne contamination entering a tank. The Banlaw Filtered Vent comes with a serviceable air filter within the vent cap. This filter protects against particles entering the tank via the vent, and thus entering the fuel system of the equipment. The service life of OEM fuel filters is extended, reducing the risk of blocked filters and equipment downtime.
