Allan, I repair these by gluing in a plastic hose nipple that I get
from NAPA, they usually have a large selection of plastic nipples to choose
from. I use Loctite Super Glue and it works.
I thought I'd remove the expansion tanks, since I'm removing my fuel
tank, and clean out all the accumulated dirt above/behind them. Well of
course I managed to break off one of the expansion vent valve nipples.
Are these repairable? JB Weld or something similar? If not, are they
available and from whom? Did not see them on any of the usual vendor
web sites.
