Default fuel tank check valve

Building a custom fuel tank
Used to use vented fuel caps, but they suck

Does anyone know where to get a good check valve? I bought one from jegs but as you tip it over it leaks a little bit before it seals, that isnt acceptable for my rules, so i was hoping for a spring loaded one to make the tank be sealed unless a vacum occurs then the valve would open to equalize the pressure

sources?

Hey, I'm not trying to slam you but please have a fire support system running when you decide to test your cell. If you are the master fabricator please excuse my comments.

To answer your question http://www.fuelsafe.com has one.

Good luck and please be safe with this.
