If an accident is bad enough to rupture your tank a shut off valve is redundant. I have a shut off valve mounted to the frame just under the front of the drivers seat. I extended the length of the valve shaft with a piece of 5/16" steel fuel line that protrudes through the floor of the car. I threaded the inside of the piece of fuel line with a tap that matched the threads on the valve shaft. Thus the handle for the shut off is in the passenger compartment and I can easily shut off the fuel to the engine. I used a 1/4" ball type plumping valve.
