It installs into fuel cells or tanks where an AN6 male fitting is required and is compatible with gasoline and alcohol-based fuels. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct function and sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this valve stop fuel from leaking if the car flips?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal mechanism closes when the valve is tipped significantly, blocking the flow of liquid fuel while leaving a path for vapor or minimal air movement if needed. That mechanical shutoff reduces the chance of fuel running out of the vent point when the vehicle is on its side or upside down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAN6 male flare (9\/16-18 UNF) connection for direct tank mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealing washers (PTFE) to prevent leaks at the thread interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGravity-activated internal closure that reacts to inverted orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with gasoline and alcohol fuels used in racing and street applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this valve allow my fuel tank to breathe during normal driving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — during regular operation the valve remains open enough to equalize pressure and prevent vacuum from forming as fuel is drawn from the tank.
