Instead of pulling the linkage and pinching the fuel like you could get a little bit of vacuum line and hook it into the shutoff valve when you can't shut it off, just suck on that line and it should shut right off. I figured that out after about 10 tries to suffocate my engine with Co2...  |
It depends on how you want to view the Manual Shutoff. My view is that it is there as an Emergency Shutoff therefore it needs to work properly.
It is possible to install a Fuel Shutoff Solenoid in the fuel line that opens when it gets 12 volts and cuts off the fuel when there is no electricity to it (my Volvo has that but it screws into the IP fuel inlet).
