Have you run your plane with this setup?
I would be concerned with the check valve on my vent line, it could cause problems with the pump on the carb. Why not just run it to the outside? I know that you will spill a little fuel but you could watch the fuel line on the vent side and when it starts to get fuel to it stop.
Like switch26 mentioned:
the Jersey modelers fuel can comes with a overflow fuel return line so no mess and no spilling

Yes I had about 20 flights on this bird now. I don't see a reason the valve could cause any issues unless you use it in the opposite way. The valve doesn't have any effect on the pump whatsoever. Air can still get in the tank, fuel can't get out during filling. Very clean and no line at the outside, just 2 standard fuel dots.
