Ernest, If I can ask, without a shutoff valve, how would you service/replace

The same way everyone does it...that is to say, "I haven't a clue." 8*)
How would you service/replace the valve (short of draining the tank)?
Not trying to be funny there. Really, how would you. Would you have to service a pump any more than you would the valve? For a minute, I was thinking that you'd add a small service valve directly under the tank, but all that does is move the problem around and increase the complexity. Method 1) Would draining the tank be all that difficult? Fly it down to 5gal (more than VFR min), land, disconnect the fuel line and use the pump to fill a gas can or two.
Method 2) Have a section of rubber hose before the pump. Standard vice-grip clamp cutoff.
