Could you not put two of these valves in. One in each direction as to allow excess pressure out and one to vent in. Being in Canada I am wondering if your talking about standard automotive style valve (that is used in most bicycles here or the euro valve that is only used in more expesive bikes here. (the kind with the operational parts external to the case)

I would have thought two pipes with a valve in each.....one in one out would be ok and that's what I had intended.

Guys on here seem to indicate that , in practice, positive pressure in the tank is not a problem though.... Mind you , on a hot day with a nearly empty tank I would have thought the build up could be significant.
As another afterthought for Jon.....How does the rubber in these bike valves fair with long term exposure to petrol ?
