I know the shut-off valve was eliminated long before TS8.... However, is
there any advantage to having one - given that it is probably not really
easy to get to in an emergency. Shutting off fuel to everything for long
storage periods maybe. Or to work on fuel pump.
And Steven - do you have any numbers for us?

Subject: Fuel shut-off installed
With another sediment bowl emptying on my to-do list for last weekend, I
finally
tracked down a fuel shut-off valve to put inline prior to the fuel pump. I
used
a Briggs & Stratton part from my local lawn mower repair shop -- as
suggested by
a now-forgotten list member. The fellow didn't have one in stock, but
referenced
a giant parts book that puts Triumph parts catalogs to shame. Got it the
next
day, under $5.
It's a short valve, but there isn't much room to spare. Still, it doesn't
appear
to be pinching the line, and it's much better and safer than my previous
approach of vice-gripping the line shut. Sorry, no part number available,
but
there are only a couple types available, and there was only one that could
possibly work in that catalog.
