[TPR] Valve cover breathers

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

When Dick Drenske modified my fuel tank and fuel system for the IR-EFI in 2008 
he re-plumbed the fuel pick up to the bottom of the tank and added a fuel check 
valve and they are available from Pegasus catalog 
(1-800-688-6946)....<www.pegasusautoracing.com>

agreed. I use a vent with tip-over protection since my cap is sealed as well.  I 
think I got it from Pegasus racing.....
