REFLECTOR: Electric fuel valves

[Patrick Sieders]

All,

 

Looking at these fuel valves, how do you hook them up ? Looking at the
picture I can't really tell if I need to hook up with a flexible hose over
the nipple and clamp it, or some other way. 

 

Anybody any ideas ?

 

Thanks,

 

Patrick

I think this one requires a momentary switch, and stays in the last position
selected.

Thinking it through...........

 

"Normally open" would be fine for the 2 main tanks (although "last position"
would be better)

 

"Last position" is the only choice for the Sump. 

 

If "Normally Open", it is useless in the case of a fire (once you turn off
the master, fuel would again flow to the fire) or for maintenance. "Normally
Closed" would mean loss of engine power in the case of a loss of electric.

 

Other choice is "Last position"

Looking for a 28V on/off, "Normally Open".

 

Plan is to put 1 on each tank and 1 on Sump.
