Chuck,
My cutoff is on the floor, next to the door and even with the front of
my seat.  I pull the T handle out (forward) to shut the fuel off.  It's
out of the way, yet easy to access and operate.

Chuck,
<br>My cutoff is on the floor, next to the door and even with the front
of my seat.&nbsp; I pull the T handle out (forward) to shut the fuel off.&nbsp;
It's out of the way, yet easy to access and operate.
