Drain the tank, you don't want to fool around with combustibles under your loved
possession.

Hi Moe,
Thanks for the response.? I think the challenge will be to get the valve removed
and the fuel line capped without spraying gas all over the place.? And then
re-installing it.? Any suggestions, short of de-fueling the tank..??

Randy,

This valve (the twist valve that you access through the small door under the wing)
looks suspiciously like the Eelco valve that I used to shut off the fuel in
my D Altered 57 Chevy. Drag Car equipped with early Hilborn Injectors?in about
1972.? Meaning that it was military surplus.??Most likely?the valve needs to
be?removed and new "o" rings installed.
You are correct that the valve is not listed in the Commander parts book, which
is a very good thing..........................

Regards.

The last time I drained fuel from the center tank sump, the valve did not close
completely and fuel continued to drip overboard.? After opening and closing several
times, the dripping stopped.? I have not opened the valve since, for fear
of it sticking open again.? Has anybody experienced this situation..??? I was
unable to identify the valve in my parts manual.? Is it the same in all Commanders..???
I may need a replacement valve.? Anyone have one..??? Thanks.
