Some use a plastic washer and some have the washer as part of the mesh cover, so the answer is..... not always.

I can concur with Sean here, I must have bought three or four before I found one that was any good - camlam was the answer - ebay aint :shock:

Just bought a fast-flow tap rear exit from Camlam, "Has any one used one of these and are they any good", as I will be fitting it as soon as I can get back in the garage......... Doctors what do they know ?? Surley I can play in the garage and get better at the same time... :lol:

me too, makes for a nice fuel pipe route.
although not so impressed with the low fuel warning light. I failed to see it and ran out of fuel for the first time in years [luckily at the top of a hill with a petrol station at the bottom :mrgreen: ] , which kind of defeats the object of having one... I think I'll replace the led with a more noticeable bulb.
