I don't doubt that it is so, Ed, but putting the edicts from
Federal
agencies aside, I'd like to raise the question of whether it is
safer.
Indeed, how many crashes
have resulted from people taking off with the fuel valves off? Granted,
that won't happen with fuel injection, but with a big carb bowl it does.
Assuming that connections will be the weakest spot in any system, and
that
there actually is a pump that blocks flow when there's no power
applied (I
haven't tried to determine if there is), I would argue that
the pump IS
the cutoff valve,
This is another one of those questions
I've never seen a good answer for, so out to the garage I just went. I
grabbed one of the Walbro in-tank pumps, and tried with all my might to blow
through it, and could not. With the exception of my cheeks, I feel
better now. My RV-3 has no fuel shutoff valves.
Rusty (forgot what I was going to put
here)
