Any precaution is good, but if you gotten in enough water to back fill the vent line, you'd better have snorkeled the intake and clutch breather.

True, but if it gives you one less thing to worry about, it's probably worth the 3 bucks.

You dont think it will? I know it did over the weekend but like I said I ran from the vent right to the frame and down, no loop not nothing and that line was full of mud.

I've never had a check valve on any of mine, and they all worked fine. Did get some mud in them, but it all got knocked back out.

See I dont spend a lot of time in water but this weekend I got stuck in a nasty hole and it took me a few to get out so it had time to work its way back up the line. When Im in water I play around for a few mins then head on and the water is just up to the seat, I dont go any deeper cause its not snorkeled.

Had to clear out all the pics on the computer here at work, or I'd post some of the mud and water I've been through.

Something about this being a work computer.

Like it's not work to do this all day and still look busy.

I hear ya as I write this I sit in my office with a bunch of papers looking busy!!! I love being the IT and Logistics guy!!

I would guess that the loop in the line would stop anything from going up the line eh?
