Pressure relief valve - Broke this today, what it?

[Mickswan]

Taking my axle off I knocked this and snapped it. What is it so I can order a new one?

If this is on the fuel tank it may be the unit that houses a ball bearing.it's a safety feature so if the car was to overturn it cuts the fuel supply.

Yeah got a ball bearing in, thought that's what it was for. Got a specific name?

Fucks sake, if you'd done this 3 days ago I'd have had one for you mate. Just scrapped a spare tank I had for the space.
