does fuel tank require a check valve

Welcome to the House of Homelite. We need a little more info on the model you are working on. Yes, most have check valves, some are on the fuel cap, others are on the tank itself.

it is a vl super 2 UT 105584 ser no. 790180093 . the fuel tank has a hose with filter and a small hole on the other side which had a small plug in it, i just poked it with a safety pin and it fell off inside tank. i was wondering if this was some sort of an air passage. i need to know a part no. for a duck bill check valve so i can use this. on the oil tank it has two hoses, the bottom one has a filter attached to it and the top hose is inserted about an inch with nothing attached which i think this would be a place to install a duck bill check valve. thanks.

Welcome to HOH! You are correct, you need a 69451 duckbill valve for the smaller hole in the fuel tank. And the upper oil hose should also have a cintered tube and duckbill valve. If the whole assembly is missing, good odds are it's at the bottom of the oil tank. It's worth your time to remove the tank and clean it out to recover the tube; they've gotten harder to come by and expensive when they do pop up. If you can't source d-bill's locally, I've got them on my site: www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/store/p6432/NOS_Homelite_35SL%2C_150%2C_190%2C_350%2C_360%2C_C-72%2C_Super_XL%2C_XL-12%2C_XL-400%2C_Super_2%2C_XL%2C_XL-2%2C_VI_Super_2%2C_VI_Super_2_SL_Chainsaw_Duckbill_Valve_69451.html
