When you install the cut off valve (should you decide to do it yourself) you would be way ahead if you install it as close to the carburator as possible.  Should you install the "cutoff" at the "feed line" from the tank, you will have to run the engine for sometime.  The engine will have to sip most of the fuel from the water/fuel seperator, fuel pump, etc.  If you put it close to the carb, or at the carb, then only the carb has to run dry before the engine quits.  My .02 worth.   If you have a Carbed engine with TKS system (electric fuel pump, TURN KEY START) you really need to prepare your cut off valve properly.  Those electric fuel pumps ain't cheap, and don't like to run dry.

Just sayin'
CAT, headed to Sammys Saloon for the day.
