[C320-list] Engine anti siphon

Don't think they are universal, but also don't think there are too many options.  These duckbill valves are small replaceable rubber pieces and pretty cheap.  You might be better making sure you find what brand and size you have and going a local route (West Marine or another marine parts store). Don't overtighten the cap when you replace it.

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!
