FEDERAL LAW
183.528 - Fuel stop valves
(a) Each electrically operated fuel stop
valve in a fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine
must:
(1) Open electrically only when the
ignition switch is on; and
(2) Operate manually.
|
If an electrically operated fuel stop valve
is in the fuel system, it must be wired to the ignition switch
so it will open only when the ignition switch is on. It must
also have a means to manually open the valve in the event
of loss of electricity. This is often a slot for a screwdriver
to turn the valve.
FIGURE
15 - Electrically Operated Fuel Stop Valve
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW
If you use an electrically operated fuel
stop valve:
- Does it open only when the ignition
switch is on?
- Can it be operated manually?
