Default Deleting roll over valve

Mine was the original and almost crumbled when I tried to remove it.Would it be possible to just do away with it,and what would I put in its place? Ty

The rollover valve is a vent with a mechanism to prevent fuel spilling out during a vehicle rollover. It is best just to replace it with another one. Get just the piece you need from a junkyard, I'm sure that is a generic piece that came on most vehicles around its years from Dodge trucks to Jeeps ect.

Here is one I found online for a Jeep.Would this work? I ask because it doesnt look like the one I broke but if it fits and wil work I'll purchase it.

When I did my fuel pump I realized mine was crumbled. I got a used one my my friend out of a 95 mustang and got a bastard grommet that worked.

Finally got my rollover valve problem solved.No way in hell I was giving $75 for a piece of plastic.Went to Autozone n found a check valve I could use then got 2 different grommets that fit one in another and BAM,fit slick into my pump.Also had to purchase hose adapters as the one on the check valve was bigger.All together,with 2 containers of hand cleaner(on sale for $1),cost was $22 versus $75.... And yes works great!
