Does anybody know if standard inline breather systems are suitable for Formula Student? I am not entirely sure if it will leak if the car is tilted past 45 degrees, as I cant find if there is come sort of check valve in it to seal it should the car be inclined like this. I have looked at using a simple check valve for the fuel tank, but am trying to figure out how I will get it to close without leaking.

Any info would be much appreciated.


Regards.

A standard breather system should be fine- as long as you use one that is designed with a liquid proof valve. most OEM's are designed this way- i.e., they will let vapor out but not liquid if the car rolls
