Fuel shutoff valves

[Bob Miller]

Does anyone know what size shutoff valves to get 1/4 or 5/16?
It looks like a fellow RX-1 owner lost his engine due to hydrolock :roll:
I will be installing the valves! Not taking any chances :wink:

shut offs are very easy to install, they are 1/4 " . Cost about 15.00 a shut off .

Need 2 per sled, right? Just took a quick peek, and there are two lines from the tank into the fuel pumps. Correct? And where did you mount them, above the clutch near the pumps? Looks like a good spot.

Sumpbuster yes you need two the closer you install them to the pumps the better i would think (less gas available to create this catastrophe)

 

[ger]

do you want them before the pump or after?

Ger if you can get them after the pumps that would be great especialy for draining purposes, but i think before is fine too with them shut it puts a vacuum in the line that prevents the gas from flowing anyway. Access seems to be the biggest factor I like them next to the pumps nice and easy to get at.
