REFLECTOR: Fuel shut off valve

[Al Gietzen]

Andy;

I added an emergency shutoff valve near the exit from the sump tank.  It's a
'ball' valve with a push-pull cable to the handle.  The cable leads to the
pilots seat frame near the keel; where pulling the red round handle shuts
off the fuel.  Not sure where I got the parts, but likely from AS.  From the
point under the front of the seat to the valve is less than 10 ft.

Sorry - no photo.

I am working on my fuel system and wanted to know how many builders added a
push pull cable to their fuel shut off valve to be able to shut off their
fuel in case of fire. I am considering adding a locking T handle with easy
access for the pilot. If anyone has already made this modification, I would
be interested in pictures and a parts list of materials used.
