anti-siphon valve, engine fuel supply line and fuel
ll (See Figure 5.1.1).
The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure/vacuum

The fuel pick-up at the fuel tank has an anti-siphon
valve to prevent fuel from siphoning out in the event
of line failure (See Figure 5.1.1 and 5.1.2). In an
emergency situation, remove the anti-siphon valve
if the engine is not getting fuel. NOTE: Replace with
new anti-siphon valve or fuel shut off valve as soon
as possible as anti-siphon protection is required by
federal law.
