[C320-list] Engine anti siphon

[Jerry's Iphone]

This is why I love this list service. Prompt helpful responses from knowledgeable owners. Thanks all. 

I found a valve at Defender but not sure it’s a fit for me. Is the valve pretty much a universal size and fit?
Catalina Direct has only the entire loop. 

Thanks again!
