One-way Fuel Check Valve

Post by TravisHill »

Hello all,

I am working on restoring a 1981 Fiat Spider that my dad bought brand new back in 1981. 32K original miles :o
I am having trouble finding a fuel one way check valve, the original part is clogged with gelatinous gas that sat in the lines for years in storage. I have checked with Vicks but they recommend a generic part, even then I can’t find a generic part. Does anyone have any ideas where to find it? Is it possible to remove the valve completely from the fuel system?

Thank you in advance!

other vendors might have them. I have cleaned them first with gasoline and then with carburetor cleaner. That seemed to work.
