M38a1 fuel tank vent.

Post by billybob »

I'm looking for the small air vent that screws into the fitting on top of the fuel pickup unit. I think it's called filtered vent plug for late A1 &170 PN 808998. Does anyone know where I might find one, Thanks for any help.

Hi billybob,
The military parts vendors don't always advertise everything they have in stock --- especially some of the hard-to-find stuff.

Have you phoned MWM, AJP, BMJP, DeBella, or QTM and asked?

Just a thought.

Good luck!

Thank you RonD2. I truly appreciate it. I never even thought of that. I'll give it a try. I can find all types of vents/filters but none with an inverted flare.
