Single Fuel Tank Ventilation Filter Kit
VAH, VHD, VN, VT
FSB 234-018, Single Fuel Tank Ventilation Filter Kit
(June 2014)
VOLVO Trucks North America has introduced a new fuel tank ventilation filter mounting
bracket (part number 22370512) that mounts on the outside of the frame rail using the fuel
tank J bracket retainers. The fuel tank vent filter has been implemented for increased
protection against fuel injector tip erosion. This new bracket offers simplified servicing of the
filter due to the location.
Bracket 22370512 should be used in place of the mounting bracket and hardware in kit
85136403 to mount the filter on the outside of the frame rail next to the fuel tank.
Note: To ensure the effectiveness of the fuel tank ventilation filter system, the fuel tank
ventilation filter must be changed at the same interval as the engine air filter.
