I had asked on here a while back about why my tank was so slow and difficult to fill on my van and was still struggling.
After having trouble today with water gurgling and flooding back out I thought I'd jam the garden hose over the breather hole and force some water in, then out popped a wasp, and there was probably some mud in their as
well.
After that the tank filled easily!
A wasp was soon seen buzzing around the hole while I was filling it so I plugged a small twig in it for now.
Just letting people who may have the difficulties I had to
check the breather is free.
Cheers.

Mud wasps can be a right PITA.
A mate of
mine just hates things.....he declared a fatua on wasps at his place long ago.........I've seen him chase a wasp the full length of his shed before swatting it...he has swatters & tins of spray all over the place..........if ya over there having a chat and there is a ....bzzzzzwbzzbzzzbzzz.
everything has to stop and the wasp persued.
they will build in anything........if you stood still long enough they would build in your ear.
they just love any hole about the right size
mufflers on brushcutters, chainsaws and leaf blowers......I guarantee that very mower
shop in the country would see several cases of wasp work a week.
teltales on outboard motors...lots of blokes stick a golf "T" up the teltake between uses.
If ya want a cheap solution and ya tank breather is in a dry location, get a cheap fuel filter the right size and cut the top off it and fit that.
cheers
