Fuel Shutoff Valve

This thing has issues on both ends.

To get it to work good there can't be any sharp turns so it has to be routed carefully allowing the largest curves possible.

The biggest bind is up front where it takes a turn rearward. There isn't much room from the bottom of the push pull handle and in our ship it just barely clears the tub.

Back at the valve it is a real bugger to get to the set screw that locks the cable to the arm and there isn't anything you can do to make it any easier either.

Homer once said a few guys were catching the snap ring on the valve under the clamp down bolt. If you do that you'll strip the valve and it won't either open or close depending on what position it was in when it happened.

 

We made a way to remove the floor pan in the future without having to take the entire cable loose,

you can find information about that in Accessories, Add ons and Mods.
