Mine is red on a red tank. BTW I thought the one-way anti-crash valve in these would work at anti syphoning as well, not mine. If the fuel level reaches the breather it will syphon up the hose by itself if the tank cap seals well. The one-way valve in the breather if its the same as mine has a steel ball that seals with the tank upside down.

Vince, this one has a green ball, looks and sounds ceramic.
Maybe it will float and stop any syphoning, mine went in 10 years ago and maybe they changed ball material. The whole point of all that I did was to be able to really fill the tank without the original cap pissing fuel out, I can get close to full but not the last 15mm or so. After 4 or 5 attempts at fixing the syphoning out the breather, one-way dirtbike valve in the breather hose, long looped up high of said hose.
The fix was a tiny hole drilled and tapped for a Delordo main jet in the middle of the aircraft cap and that broke the vacuum. That's why I am obsessive about tank breathers, simple months-long shit fight.
