FIREWALL FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE

A firewall fuel shutoff valve, located on the aft side of the firewall,
enables the pilot to shut off all fuel flow from the fuel reservoir to the
engine. The shutoff valve is controlled by a red push-pull knob labeled
FUEL/OIL SHUTOFF located on the right side of the control pedestal.
The push-pull knob has a press-to-release button in the center which
locks the knob in position when the button is released.

FUEL TANK SELECTORS

Two FUEL SELECTORS, one for each tank, are located on the
overhead console. The selectors, labeled LEFT, ON and OFF and
RIGHT, ON and OFF, mechanically control the position of the two fuel
tank shutoff valves at each wing tank. When a FUEL TANK SELECTOR
is in the OFF position, the shutoff valves in the tank are closed. When in
the ON position, both shutoff valves in the tank are open, allowing fuel
from that tank to flow to the reservoir. Normal fuel management is with
both FUEL TANK SELECTORS are in the ON position.
Before refueling, or when the airplane is parked on a slope, turn off one
of the FUEL TANK SELECTORS (if parked on a slope, turn high wing
tank off). This action prevents crossfeeding from the fuller or higher
tank and reduces any fuel seepage tendency from the wing tank vents.
