Jack . There should be a valve between the tanks and the fuel pump. It is supposed to be on the right hand side , under your dash on the right wall. If it is not there , It should be, as you have no source of shutoff to the fuel pump. You probably have two other issues also. Your carb. float level neddle and seat may not be seating and the block valve under you dash from the header tank to the carb, may not be shuting off completely.

I inadvertently left the valve open with the aircraft sitting in the hangar once, and voila! The fuel completely all drained out in no time flat! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 8:53 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [ercoupe-tech] Re: Fuel Shutoff"G" model location Hi all. I have the "G" model and searched all over the right and left side and can't locate any additional shut off valve. The only shut off valve I have is located is under the panel on pilots side. Thank You, Prof. Ed
