Default Fuel Valve question

For some reason I misplaced the diagram on how my valve goes into the fuel system. Mainly what are the the two outlets going to? Thanks for the help!

If you are asking about a quick fueler valve you can analyze it yourself

Without the probe inserted find the path you can blow through

With the probe inserted find the path of airflow when you blow in the probe

When you blow in the probe - the outlet goes to the tank. The outlet that nothing comes out when you blow through the probe is the one that goes to the engine.

Is this an older valve? if so just use a 3 line system as fuel valves tend to leak, causing engine problems......the fuel valve will be the last thing you think of when troubleshooting...except now that you read this post

I've never used a valve because as a noob I asked the ace of the base about valves he told me they will leak sooner or later...all the wing men shook their heads in agreement....I've always used a 3 line system and I've never had a problem...
the subject of valves comes up here once in a while...they do leak
