[Tigers] Fuel shutoff

[Stu Brennan]

Hi Guys:

Ibve selected an Earlbs valve Ibm getting from Jegbs.  It should be
here by next week.  Once I see how big the valve, plus the 3/8b NPT adapters
are when assembled, I will come up with some arrangement to tuck the valve and
the filter on the rear facing side of the spare tire well, to sort of shield
them from flying debris.  Steel lines will go into and out of the well, where
the Facet pump will reside.  Or maybe therebll be one rubber joint inside
the well, on the low pressure side (as if the output is a super high pressure
;-))  ).   Or maybe I can fit the valve into that gap in the flap somehow
and... Ibve already bent up pipes for three different arrangements, so
whatbs a couple more, right?

This wonbt be ready for British Car Day (June 22) or Thompson ( the weekend
after), but Ibll get it in this summer for sure.

Try Aircraft Spruce here:

There is a notch halfway down the flap of sheet metal that covers the fuel
line under the trunk, one of those little valves fits there perfectly.

  My fuel pump project got delayed again by an article in the current TE/AE
  newsletter.   John Logan added a shutoff valve to his fuel line, under the
  trunk floor, which led me to decide I really should add a valve to my pump
  and filter relocation project.  John used a hardware store valve that seems
  to be surviving exposure to fuel, but I started a search for a valve
  intended for fuel applications.

  An internet search turned up numerous valves, but most of them seem to be
  intended for lawn maintenance equipment, or small motorcycles.  I'm
  concerned that any of these could prove to be a flow restriction for
  automotive flow rates.

  The ideal valve would be an all metal  "ball valve" type, a 1/4 turn to
  actuate, that when open provides little if any flow restriction.  I'm still
  using the stock 5/16 size pipe, and would want to connect to this as simply
  as possible.

  Can anyone recommend a source for this sort of valve?
