The Multiquip 18042 Fuel Tank Breather Tube is a genuine OEM component designed for WBH-16 and WBH-16EAWD Whiteman hydraulic power buggies. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part matches the original specification installed at the factory, ensuring a straight drop-in connection to the fuel tank vent system. If your buggy is showing signs of fuel tank pressurization, vapor lock, or fuel delivery issues, replacing the breather tube with the correct OEM part is the right first step. DHS Equipment stocks this part to get your machine back on the job fast.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tubing Material — Manufactured to the exact material grade and dimensional spec of the original, ensuring proper fit against the tank fitting and vent port without cracking or collapsing under heat cycling.
- Direct-Fit Connection — Designed to connect directly to the fuel tank vent port on WBH-16 and WBH-16EAWD buggies, routing and length match the original for a clean, secure installation.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with WBH-16 and WBH-16EAWD Whiteman hydraulic power buggies; verify your model code before ordering.
- Maintains Proper Tank Venting — A functioning breather tube allows the fuel tank to equalize pressure as fuel is consumed; a blocked or damaged tube can cause fuel starvation, engine stumbling, or difficulty restarting.
- Fuel System Safety — Correct venting prevents excessive vacuum buildup or fuel vapor accumulation in the tank, supporting safe, stable fuel delivery during operation.
The fuel tank breather tube allows air to enter the fuel tank as fuel is drawn out by the engine, preventing a vacuum from forming inside the tank. Without this equalization, the resulting negative pressure can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run lean, surge, or stall entirely. A cracked, kinked, or blocked breather tube is a common and often overlooked cause of intermittent fuel delivery problems on power buggies — replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper tank venting and consistent engine performance.
