More on the topic of the fuel tank. I have 1 2001 model #823. The fuel
shutoff is next to the tank and requires a small 6 year old child to fit
into the locker to reach the valve. I want to add an inline shutoff just
before the Racor but I have only 5" to work with. By the time you add the
barb attachments to most valves, the overall length is more than 5". Anyone
know where I can find a small valve, rated for diesel with 2 barbs for
5/16" ID hose?
