Fuel Vents
In 2019, Flomax made changes to the length of the inserted tubes on internal and
external standard vents. This is due to reports in the field that vents were leaking due
to foaming being pushed through the vent.
The result the tubes now being 50mm longer that will cause the NPV to shut off
slightly earlier
