    I have 3 or 4 of the OEM E31 Return valves in my used parts inventory if anyone wants one. All came out of running cars.

    I had to purchase one from Tom 2 years ago and it solved my fuel pressure build-up under gas cap. I wondered if just putting straight rubber hose in its place would have been fine though. But its a safety feature for a reason I guess.
    I have my factory one out and have looked at what would cause the ball valve to plug often... not sure. but after a charcoal canister re-do and another float gravity valve from Tom my system seems fine.
    PS: never hurts to empty/refill the charcoal canister either if never done before. its so wasy/cheap to do. Hardest part was removing the bottom metal plate as I had to drill out the welds...
    I swear, my cars are like a girlfriend.
    Sometimes its a rough ride, sometimes its smooth motorin'.
    Sometimes she doesnt like how i treat her and sometimes i dont like how she behaves.
    BUT at the end of the day, she loves it when I am inside her.

    Removed the valve over the weekend and replaced it with a fuel filter of the appropriate size to prevent possible contaminants from moving between the carbon canister and fueltank or vice versa. This valve has been stuck for as long as I have had the car so there might be stuff in the pipes that will start to move now.
    Also it was a way to make only minimal changes to the system if I want to go back to stock at some point. I would like to find a valve that will not get stuck so easily as ours does..

    I don't think my carbon canister has seen any fuel vapours in years before making this change.

    Pressure in tank disappeared immediately, I also tested both lines by blowing while the valve was taken out.

    Any feedback for part # 16131182761? I know a couple of people have installed it with middle nipple covered. Is this the correct way of doing it or closing off the thrid nipple is the way?
