Larry, I totally agree with you. But on the other hand I was not trying to recreate the wheel. Hoping if I saw someone with a configuration close to mine I'd copy.
My delimer is that my shutoff valve is right below the header tank. and is 6" recessed towards the fire wall. As a result I can not see it. I'm getting a lot of flack for it. One solution is to put a universal joint and extend the turn off knob out to the instrument panel. dee On Tue, Jul 25, 2023 at 10:00 AM Flesner via KRnet <krnet@list.krnet.org> wrote: > On 7/25/2023 6:06 AM, dee david via KRnet wrote: > > > > I'd like for several of you folks with flying KR2 to post a picture of > > where > > your shut-off valve are placed - so I can see your implementation. > > I presume most of you placed it on the console - maybe?... > > Dee > > > > While it may be helpful to see how other have plumbed their fuel system > every KR is different and may not be a good match for your system. > Variables like location and number of tanks, size of tanks, routeing of > lines, size of lines, number of pumps, location of pumps etc., will all > have an effect on getting fuel to the engine. > > It's best to consider your setup and design a system and place > components to give the most reliable deliverable fuel to the engine. > Consider things like having the least number of fittings, restrictions, > length of lines, location of shutoff / selector valve, line size, line > security and resistance to damage.
