From reading past posts by people others have used the EDS valve, but what pipe does it fit on.

Merlin and Demon Tweeks sell them too, not sure on prices from those guys though

Thank you everyone.

Are the cheaper ones ok for the job? I am going for the idea that i wont have any fuel syphoning out but then how should i fit it?

pretty sure they are just inline one way valves you find on diesels etc, i bought one that looks identical cheaper from my local motor factor

if they are one way does that not mean they would let fuel out?

I've a breather pipe which used to syphon when going around left hand corners. I put a cheap inline filter in it and it still breaths but doesn't syphon.

Really what you need is a 2way valve. That lets air in, fumes out, but shuts when fuel tries to get out.
Both Merlin and RD sell them but they're a lot dearer than the wrong ones.

ps. I had a cheap one fail in the alps this year. Resulted in both presure in the tank and fuel dribbling out.

Cool thanks will get one of the two way ones.
