That’s the one I have too. I also did not see a check valve. I thought maybe there was a version that used the linked vent system that the later planes use (main and auxiliary tanks teeing together with one vent tube coming through bottom wing skin) but put a check valve on the vent line at each tank. That’s why I wanted to see what drawing Tim was referencing.

PS: in the older fuel system with the pilow tanks one can install the check valve next to check valve at the strut just inboard, that will use a CK375 instead of a CK275
