Automatic Fuel Shut-Off Valve For Antique Tractors

Automatic Fuel Shut-Off Valve For Antique Tractors AG WORLD 30-2-23 If you hate having to shut off the gas valve after you turn the ignition off on an older-model tractor because you're afraid gas might leak, you'll be interested in Phil Smith's latest invention. It's a small spring-loaded brass solenoid-activated valve that fits in the gas line and wires to the ignition switch. When the ignition is off, the valve is closed. It opens automatically when the ignition switch is turned "on." Smith says this type of valve has been around for a long time. "It's not unusual for a lot of pickups with two gas tanks to have an electric switch that you turn on and off to go from one tank to another," he notes. Although he originally designed the shutoff for 9N, 2N and 8N Fords, Smith says it'll fit on other antique tractors as well with a little modification. "With a couple of different fittings, it'll work on most tractors." Sells for $65 including shipping. Both 6 and 12-volt models are available.
