Anti-siphon Valve

• If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.
• If the valve is stuck or clogged, change or replace it while the engine is shut down.
• NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
• The anti-siphon valve is a vital fuel system part.
• If the fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
• The valve is located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank.
• The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
