with the header tank on any of the 601 models.

Some of you probably can answer this,
What do FAA types and DARs think about the idea of connecting wing tank fuel
lines to the fuselage lines/valve using quick disconnect couplings? They
have the handy feature of shutting off fuel flow/dripping from both sides of
the coupling when they are disconnected. At $26.00 per set they are pricey
but it's worth it to not have fuel running all over the place during
disassembly or service. I use them on my UL but have never asked if they are
considered safe enough for the more complex experimental aircraft.
