Would this be ok for a tank breather, on a fuel injection system

thanks for the link Richard

I bought one of these too. Looks like a good buy as far as I can tell.

i was gonna get one of those too

Last time i used a piece of copper pipe to go down below the tank then back up above. far to much faffing about

i'll go for one of these then

I just cut the brass holder and valve out of an old inner tube and used that, its free + is a good fit inside 8mm fuel hose.

£8 seems a bit pricey to me you can gat a motorcycle one, (Ebay), for about £3 and they work fine, plus small and neat. HTH Ray

No these are no good for fuel injection systems.
You need a roll over valve that breathes both ways, in and out except when inverted. They usually have a float ball inside.( I got mine from thinkauto.)
These valves only let air in.
Apart from expansion of the fuel, you get a situation where as fuel is drawn from the tank, air is drawn in to replace the fuel removed, but injection should have a return from the pressure valve on the fuel rail, which then returns to the tank.
Now the air needs to be expelled to allow room for the returned fuel.
The result is a pressurized fuel tank or worse.

i got mine from MNR themselves.
wasn't cheap but its what they used in their racer

The one from Thinkauto is it the
TRL67

Best to give thinkauto a call as it looks like mine, but I ordered by phone and description.

My one is in the middle of the firewall and is purple. (it came in that colour) and looks like the one you suggested.
