    for a used oil storage tank

    is there any commercially available and acceptable foot valves? 5/8 OD drop tube. trying to eliminate the drain back each time the burner (clean burn) shuts off.

    You have an air leak. Either at fittings,pump or tank. All a check valve will do is raise vac. and clog up after enough gunk gets stuck in it. Hope this helps ED
