I'm thinking 14 guage wire will suffice. it only draws about .8 amps. usually they are a 'sweat' fitting (brass that needs to be brazed) However, I think I may have found a threaded (Flare) valve. No probs to adapt to those fittings. Once I get it done, I'll post pics.

I always shut my pingle off when I park at the end of the day... but not when I stop for beers or fuel while riding during the day. I will install a bypass set up that plumbers use when installing water softeners, etc. I wonder if a PEX valve would hold back fuel? I'll look into that too.

Hi Ric , I'm interested if you come up with a good electric fuel shut off valve and by pass . Please keep me posted .

Thanks , Jack
