Oil filler tube

Post by Greencom » Tue Mar 30, 2021 9:06 pm

My slat grill (122793) has an oil filler tube with twist off cap, no vent tube and no indent near bottom for the generator, does this sound right or is it a fabbed up item?
Thanks

Sounds like a good dipstick and tube, but not for a slatty, I dont think this setup was ever used on a jeep. I think you need the push on, non vented funnel type. did u check jeep draw for a start?

Yeah Adam, I think someone tried to make it look more slat-like by removing the vent tube somehow, whatever, it works.
