    Anti-Siphon Valve

    Getting ready to put my tank etc back into the boat and when I tested my anti-siphon valve I discovered that it was not there, the little ball is missing so it is just a straight pass through. Since it is a check valve to hold fuel in the line I will assume it is important to have it in there so I should go buy a new one and install it before puytting it back together.

    Also, it looks pretty standard so I assume these are pretty much universal for the 3/8" line.

    Advice appreciated.

    If you still have a fuel bulb you can leave it that way. Those anti-syphon valves are a PIA!!! JMHO

    That is easy enough to do . When I first tested it I had to open it all the way because if the ball was there and allowing travel both ways I was concerned that it could be less than ideal and cause a slight fuel flow restriction.

    Thanks.
