Thank you so very much for filming and posting this. I just bought a second hand 4 in 1 petrol garden multi-tool and found the fuel leaking quite badly out that hole in the filler cap. Just gave this a go and blow me down it worked! Bloody fantastic! You are a star! 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

Good job Tom but does the air swirl through the vent clockwise or counter clockwise in Australia? 🙂

Great tip. This is especially good if it's a hard to find cap.

In a pinch you can use an Echo Vent and hose by drilling a tight fit hole in the cap for the hose. They generally will hold 5-7 psi.

Duckbill Valves, Quack Quack! Good one Tom. G'day Mate!

You’ll never get into the Didgeridoo band if you can’t get a noise out of that duck bill!
Nice tip

Well in the US, ethanol turns duckbill valves to mush. Just buy a 10 pack for under $10
