I still like my original type valve I had no fitment problems. I bought it at Ford N More and I don't know if they are still in business. She had one that was guaranteed not to leak and it hasn't in over at least ten - fifteen years, the mesh standpipe was recommended at that time and I used it. I have also been successful adding a very short pipe in the valve inlet to stay above a thin laver of sediment that might accumulate, usually from rust on the tank top. But use the mesh!
