Default Clogged fuel tank vent

(Steven Shelikoff) wrote in message ...
Anyone have any tried and true tricks for unclogging a completely
blocked diesel fuel tank vent?


I had a diesel fuel vent clog once on my W27, the mesh on the vent
itself had eroded away and what we call a "mud dauber" (wasp?) made
its nest in there, at most a couple inches in from the hull fittng.
best to remove the hose so debris cant work its way back to the tank,
I don't remember what I used for a ram rod but I broke up the nest and
replaced the screen in the vent end of problem
