it is only a basic plastic valve for a screen washer, air can come into the tank but petrol cannot come out when filled to the brim, it has been in there for 2-3 years now.
Late this morning, I slit the rubber tube open to closely examine the internal bore, the cutting seemed to release more petrol fumes, the inside was smooth & fine, so the perishing was confined to the exterior of the pipe, but the rubber does seem to be impregnated with the the smell! Early this evening, having been sat outside, the pipe now just has a faint whiff of petrol, significantly better than earlier.
Car is not smelling!
