One-Way fuel valve
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a one-way glow fuel valve for an aerobatic plane.
As I understand it I need one for the fuel setup of an OS Hanno Special (pumper) to allow air back into the tank as the fuel is used

RE: One-Way fuel valve
on my os 140rx i just leave the vent line open. i use a piece of fuel line and wrap it around so fuel will not leak out when inverted etc. If you want to use a check valve. use the Fourmost check valve. See tower hobbies for the description. A YS checkvalve may or may not work depending how lucky you are. it has a much tighter spring and sometimes will not allow enough air to enter. That's why i used to use the fourmost one. Now i just put the loop of fuel line from the vent and make a loop around the tank and exit it from the side of the plane.
