 Hello Paul,

 Does anyone have a source for a reasonably priced duplex fuel valve
 like the one
 you sent a photo of? Aircraft Spruce has them at over $500.00.

 Check out the boat shops. They are heavier but they are very
 robust.

 Check out Andair.com here:

 They run around $300, depending on options.

 Thanks Brian.

 Looks like the best price is from JMSonline.net    current price is
 $126.51

 As for disabling the "both" selection-- I think that a mechanical lockout
 of the
 both selection is possible, no?  I imagine it'd be quite easy to add
blocks
 or
 selector stops that would prevent the valve from swinging through it's 360
 degrees.  It's swing would be more like 180 degrees instead, is my
thinking
 flawed here?

 Good idea.

 Thanks again to all.

This looks like a nice product but not many people will see it.
Brian to prevent this happening go to tinyurl.com
and plug in the long url and out will come a short version.
cut and paste that into your message.

Alternative maybe to the marine/aviation 6-port
