Default Pressure Check Valve

Anyone know if those tiny little in-line pressure check valves are still around that fit INSIDE the fuel line?

I have one around, but it was so tiny it got overlooked on my bench. Now its gone. Blah.

They were pretty ingenious. I used to have one too.
The ingenius thing is designing an item that your customers lose alot.
If running off the backplate, I don't use check valves any more.

Texas Timers has them: http://www.texastimers.com/accessori...e_bladders.htm

But, if you're looking for something to manage crankcase pressure, these may not work.

I have a couple made by Fourmost if these are the ones you are referring. These are all nylon. There is one for glow fuel in red and white, part number FOR138 and one in blue and white (part #FOR150)for any fuel. Tower has them. I think I only paid a couple of bucks apiece for them a few years ago. They're a bit more now at $5.69.

Those aren't the ones but thanks. These are TINY...lol. They fit inside the fuel line itself and you can almost forget it's in there after its installed.
