[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel shut-off gizmo

[Jerry Stebbins]

Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Fuel shut-off gizmoMark, yes we tried them (3 planes) for that purpose for a year-several years ago. After several aborted flights we took them out. They started to inhibit the fuel passage( swelling/movement/trash) and we stopped using them. Yes --we had dual filters in the plane and in the fueler.
Yes heli guys use them all the time-but the environment is different
Wasn't worth the loss of a plane.

  Has anyone tried the Tetra 2 way or 3 way fuel shut off valve??  Has that cool geek sex appeal we pattern nerds love so much.

      All
       
      I have seen lots of photos of a little gizmo used to clamp and shut off the fuel flow to the YS engines. It's installed on a bit of fuel tubing running outside the fuse.
       
      I understand that shutting off the fuel to the YS is a must and I hate having to use a surgical clamp. 
       
      Does anyone know where we can get these?
       
      Colin.
