The **Complete Vent Assembly** is the set of components located on the top of the **CAV 296** type fuel filter head (or Lucas 296 type). Its function is crucial for maintenance, allowing for the elimination of air trapped in the diesel fuel system (the "bleeding" or "venting" operation) after replacing the filter or refilling the tank.
Product Details

Composition and Usage
This assembly generally includes the bleed screw, the sealing washer, and, depending on the design, the threaded housing. It is mounted at the highest point of the filter head to facilitate the escape of air, which would otherwise impede the flow of diesel to the injection pump.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In case of leaks or defective venting, replacing the entire assembly may be more effective than just the bleed screw. Compatibility is based on the standard design of the CAV 296 filter head.
