Someone must have removed your as all the AD's that I've ever owned had the
shut off valve where the fuel comes out of the tank under the cab. A pipe
extension screwed into the tank and then the shut off valve on the other end
of the pipe with a flex hose coming off that to the hard fuel line on the
frame.
