[C320-list] Fuel shut-off

[Bill Aleshire]

We couldn’t put a cutoff between where the fuel hose comes out of the 
fiberglass and the Racor. The fuel tank cutoff is very difficult to reach 
from aft lazarette. I’m think about cutting about a 4 to 6-inch hold on the 
back wall of the aft bunk, installing a screw-open cover, to access that 
fuel tank cutoff.  Any advice?

I installed a fuel shutoff right at the Racor Input. Same kind of shutoff 
valve used on the fuel tank.  Ideally you should install one on both the 
inlet and outlet side of the racor so that you can prevent virtually all air 
from getting into the system during a filter change.

Has anyone added a fuel shut-off upstream of the Racor filter.  I hate 
crawling back to the fuel tank to reach that valve.  There is not very much 
room between the Racor and the bulkhead where the fuel line enters.
