Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Diesel filter
Operation: Tank air vent valve

In correspondence with the tank filling nozzle there is a vent valve which, if pressed, allows the air trapped in the tank during the filling phase to be evacuated, thus allowing a little more fuel to be introduced. In fact, when the tank is almost full, by pressing on the vent valve it is possible to hear a hiss generated precisely by the air coming out. The vent does not increase fuel economy but only allows you to add a little more fuel to increase tank capacity. You can also remove the internal spring of the vent valve so that you don't have to push the button, thus achieving a faster venting. Warning: Do not do this on a petrol car. In fact, petrol vapors are flammable and must not be dispersed into the atmosphere. A gasoline tank is connected to the engine's emissions system in order to burn these vapors.
