Default Fuel delivery

Had to figure changes to the fuel delivery. I didn’t want transfer and shutoff valves but can see they were necessary. If I could find 2 plastic 3/8 barbed shutoff valves, that would make me happy (the same thing is readily available in ¼ at lawnmower repair shops). These people have them but are in Ireland and have no prices.

I’m a big advocate of using things that are readily available so as to be easily replaced. I had to go with the normal three position fuel valve.

The location left a lot to be desired but I ruled convenience over looks. This location didn’t eat up room to the water seperator or create hose routing problems and is reasonably protected.

Cut a small piece of Starboard to use as a spacer to bring the handle close to the backsplash wall



Cut a piece of material and stamped the valve locations on it. This will also slow the possibility of damage to the handle.

The intended finish
