Fuel tank vent

Hi all

I'm having a hard time working out how do let my fuel tank vent air both ways whilst preventing fuel leaks/spillage. I've found this http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/u...breather-valve but I'm wondering if there is a 'locost' way of doing it that is still good for the IVA?

Thanks
Josh

Put it in a pipe with breather filter on the end.





Duratec Engine is fitted, MS2 Extra V3 is assembled and tested, engine running, car now built. IVA passed 26/02/2016

I used a tank vent from a Corsa (iirc) and wired it to the fuel pump supply. It only opens when the pump is running, which only runs when the engine is running, which has an inertia switch fitted.
