After your warning I was a bit worried so I decided to do some investigating ! this is what I found;

As you can see it simply a spring and a plug , just two moving parts,

The reversing fuel pressure holds the plug in the shut position whilst the opposite happens when the fuel flow is forward . The plug seals against the valve body via a viton 'O' ring , this is the only possible point of failure I can see and this is ONLY if the wrong 'O' ring is used , to avoid this they supplied another which is alcohol compatible.

So I am comfortable with the design and operation of the valve ......so in it goes!
Thanks for the heads up though .

PS : I have a similarly designed check valve on my oil system , I have a CANTON ACCUSUMP pre oiler installed , and it has never missed a beat !


Sooooo, I completed the fuel supply and returnlines at the back of the car ,the supply circuit is the one with the NOS Y allowing the discharge from each fuel pump to join there .Each circuit also has its own cooler the smaller of which is actually a filter /cooler combo. located on the supply line and the larger on the return line.

Because it is soo much easier to access the exhaust system under the car when the fuel tank isn't there , I decided to hold off on mounting it so that I can wrap and install the exhaust system when I finally get the LAVA wrap I ordered two f@#%in weeks ago !!!! .
