Does the BFPV look like it needs replacing?

Caleffi Series 573 installed vertically on my Triangle Tube system. I can't tell what is on this but it looks like some sort of corrosion. I was able to remove some of it with a brass brush.

BFPV isn't currently leaking from the vent port and I haven't noticed any issues with the autofill valve.

Any thoughts? Appreciate it!

    The fiber washers are seeping, it would be best to replace them. Send me your address and I will send a couple, use the private message function if you want, or bob.rohr@caleffi.com

    We have changed the design to use o-ring seals now on that and many other product
