I've seen a small cutoff valve that goes in the fuel line, on the
outside of the fuselage where people used to put fuel filters. (Some
probably still do so, of course!) These valves seem to be marketed by
Piedmont Aviation. I believe they got into this when they were
marketing the Webra engines. I'd contact Piedmont for availability.
Hope it isn't a wild goose chase.<br>

<pre wrap="">The only effective fix I have ever heard of was to make a relatively large,
horizontal loop of fuel tubing, that was higher than the highest point of
the fuel system before the spraybar, when the plane was sitting normally. I
don't have first hand experience with this, but was told it "worked".
The only other method is to have the supply line to the carb accessible from
the outside of the fuse, and either break it/plug it, or use a clamp to shut
off the line.

<pre wrap="">Has anybody found a good way to mount a non-pumped motor inverted without
having a fuel tank siphoning problem? Most of the planes I have with
inverted motors had this problem originally, but I moved the tank down low
enough to stop it. My latest project doesn't have enough room to move the
tank so I'm hoping there's something else I can do. I'm using an O.S.

<pre wrap="">Long Stroke so it has idle mixture control but I don't want it to start
dripping fuel as soon as I fill the tank. Thanks in advance to anyone who
offers any suggestions.
