Re: [TR] Fuel Shutoff valve question

[Mark Hooper <mhooper@indiefilmnet.com>]

I think it's OK; I did a complete fuel pump rebuild a couple of years back and
there does not seem to be any trace of gas leakage under the pump.

Just some crud in the carbs from before I put in the fuel filter I guess. I'll
have to pull the bowls and see if I can clean things out. However, I still
like the idea of a shut-off which could add in a security feature.

Are you sure it's coming through the carbs?  Sounds like a bad fuel pump
diaphragm to me.

You don't want a piloted valve anyway.  They rely on the pressure of the
(fuel in this case) to operate the valve and have some minimum pressure
drop.  You need a direct acting valve.

Here's one that looks suitable, rated for 170F fuel:
