I've just purchased a simelar one - this seller had none left.

It's to replace the one way valve that fails :)

The vac tank on the front inlet track that works the multirams has a one way valve in it that fails, using these cheap valves is a way of repairing the fault without replacing the whole tank.

I replaced the whole tank with one from autovaux and either that valve was knackered or non existent as it didn't work either, they sent another replacement that also has no (or is broken as well) one way valve.  >:(
