Fuel tip over valve

[Marc Jaxa-Rozen]

Hi-

We need to purchase a tip over/check valve for our fuel system and we were looking at the one Chassis Shop/Earl's Plumbing carries; has anyone used it in the past, and what pressure does it open at? Failing that, do any Canadian teams know of a place that carries similar products? We really need this ASAP.

Thanks-

try http://www.racerpartswholesale.com under "fuel safe" and "check valve"... it's about 3/4 of the way down that list. Then the one you need is the push-in style one at the bottom.

As you can see, the check valves are about $8. It's just a ball-type check valve. It's open as long as fluid isn't trying to flow the wrong direction through it.
