| This is a very heavy duty and switching only requires power
| for 1/4 second. The valve is is a screw actuated shuttle
| valve and stays in its set position without power.
|
| It should be placed after the fuel filter and after the
| sump tank before all pumps. The unused port can be used to
| drain the tanks.
