Normally, the fuel valve is NOT placed on the engine side. In case of fire, youwant to be able to turn is off. Fire will damage the valve and you might notbe able to turn it off so the tank continues to feed the fire.Cy GalleyEAA Safety Programs EditorAlways looking for ideas and articles for EAA Sport Pilot ----- Original Message -----
