Seems simple with -6 made to the valve.

I'm curious as well. I've always just plumbed in a shut off valve (ball) in the fuel supply line from the tank so I can clean filters and what not without draining the tank. The little bit of fuel from the line ahead of that is caught in a small "dish" since there's always fuel spill from opening the filter or disconnecting the lines in the first place.

The fuel pump will not be below the fuel cell so a check valve will keep the fuel from draining back into the fuel cell, and not let the pump go dry. Did I miss something? Thanks for finding the valve.

Just FYI -- Fuel pumps like to have a flooded head. Personally I'd look at other install options before putting a bandaid on it.

Greg what a flooded head and how far below the top of the fuel cell is good enough not to worry about a check valve
