[C320-list] Fuel shut-off

[Chuck Mueller]

Thanks Stephen.  On my boat, there is only 4” between the bulkhead and the Racor inlet.  Did you find a small valve with barbs on each end?  I think that the fuel line is 5/16”  ID.  Can you confirm?
Thanks

I have bought a valve and hose clamps but am waiting for better weather to get down to the boat and install.  Seems like a no
brainer to ease filter servicing.
