One of my pet peeves

I too have been stung by that stupid check valve, not once, not twice, but three times now. The last time it failed I did a pressure/vacuum test on it and it seemed OK. However, when I replaced the tank with a spare that I'd modified my driveability problem disappeared. High temperatures and vibrations while driving I guess.... On the modified tank I removed the check valve, enlarge the existing hole into the tank, screwed a nipple into it and fill the cup with silicon. I also put a checkvalve upstream of the tank.
Kevin, please ditch that check valve, for my sanity, since it can still
be a vacuum leak.
