## Questions & Answers

**Q: On which side of a mechincal fuel pump should this check valve be installed?**
A: You will want to mount this as close to the tank as possible.

**Q: Whats the flow rate?**
A: No details on flow rate. From experience we initially used on a 4 cylinder 1942 Jeep. Ideal for the application and working well. We used for this particular application on the Jeep because of staring problems, fuel starvation after the vehicle was sitting for a week or so even although it had a manual fuel pump. After fitting it was a good success. What appeared to be happening was the fuel was draining back to tank?
As a result of this success I had a Classic American car which after sitting for a couple of weeks I had  starting problems due to lack of fuel although I had an electric fuel pump fitted. The theory was I fitted this check valve between the fuel pump and carbies to keep a supply line primed. This worked for a short time. I was also keeping in mind that the check valved in the mechanical fuel pump should keep the prime of fuel to the carby?
In long term this installation wasnt a good idea as it produced additional problems. Ive since removed the check vale.
From this experience in fitting this valve to a V8 engine didnt maintain the flow rate you needed.
I would suggest that a 4 - 6 cylinder application would be OK

**Q: What size line is this for and is it threaded, if so what thread size?**
A: The ends of the 169-1002 are threaded for 1/4" NP threads.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what is supposed to be
*by D***B on March 25, 2022*

For those who need specifics, here they are;1/4 FNPT thread both ends, Flow rate is 45 GPH and the opening pressure is 1 PSI.I used this for a diesel fuel transfer tank application, where I was pumping from the auxiliary tank to vehicles main tank. I add this to prevent the pump from back feeding causing a dry start up for the pump. The pump runs/flows at 2-3 psi (have an inline mechanical gage). No issue with the unit sticking when pump cycles.Would recommend for similar applications.

### ⭐⭐ Stuck open after about 3-4 cycles
*by S***N on March 30, 2024*

Well constructed check valve but stuck open after I ran my car a couple of times and does not seal as it should. I worked great when it was first installed. It does not have any foreign matter in it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine
