I need a fuel check valve for my inline pump, any recommendations? Thanks

I'm curious as well. I've always just plumbed in a shut off valve (ball) in the fuel supply line from the tank so I can clean filters and what not without draining the tank. The little bit of fuel from the line ahead of that is caught in a small "dish" since there's always fuel spill from opening the filter or disconnecting the lines in the first place.

The fuel pump will not be below the fuel cell so a check valve will keep the fuel from draining back into the fuel cell, and not let the pump go dry. Did I miss something? Thanks for finding the valve.

Just FYI -- Fuel pumps like to have a flooded head. Personally I'd look at other install options before putting a bandaid on it.

Assuming you're using an electric pump.... they PUSH fuel rather than Draw fuel.
Are you taking fuel out of the top of your tank?? Give us something to work with here... LOL |
Sorry - forgot to answer your other question -- A flooded head is when fuel is flowing TO the pump on it's own... and from there the pump pushes the fuel.

Fair enough and thanks for your comments. The current plan is to use a inline Holley Elec fuel pump 12-890 which will require to pull the fuel from the top of the fuel safe cell. I can not have it much lower than the top of the fuel cell and it will feed a C6 corvette fuel filter and regulator. Weldon tech advised me to use a check valve if the pump is not below the top of the tank. I would assume if I can get it lower than the top then a check valve but not sure. Thoughts
