Finally got round to doing this job, you were right it was very awkward, looking at RAVE its a 20 minute job which isnt the case! Even with the wheel arch liner removed it was still a pain but doable!!! I only had one hose so my P38 is obviously...
Unless the cone is very badly worn, any ridge can be taken out by putting the shaft of the valve in an electric drill and carefully using a file to smooth the cone off. Not sure replacements are available, Kurt Johnson may have some.
Hi,
Does anybody know if/where the three NRVs can be purchased from as shown in the pic below? Will shortly be overhauling my valve block and would like to replace them along with all the o 'rings.
Thanks
Exactly the same, filled it up with Shell V Power only to see it leaking away!!! Oh well it is what it is, at least brimming the tank has shown up the problem with the hose, looks in a bad way from what I saw, all cracked and beginning to come...
I see what you mean, there was me thinking there were only two filler necks, one for petrol and one for diesel but the lrcat catalogue (thank you for the links) shows that is not the case. I am away for xmas and new year and the new silicone...

I cut them through with something, can't remember what, hacksaw, dremal, grinder or broken hacksaw blade. Mines a diesel though, hacksaw only on a ⛽️ petrol.!
Thank you for the advice, appreciate it. Dont know why but I did not realise there were two hoses on the filler neck assy, I thought there was only one which connects the neck to the tank (that's what the drawing shows anyway, just one hose...
Thank you, think mine is pre Advanced EVAPS, either way looks like once the rear wheel arch liner is removed there should be access to replace the hose. Guess I will find out once I attempt the repair, new hose is on the way.
Hello, filled up the P38 (its a 1997 4.0v8 Gems if that makes a difference), got home and when I got out of the car there was a strong smell of petrol. Had a look underneath and can see fuel leaking from the rubber hose which connects the filler...
