Phil,
That valve looks like the one that came with my Lancair ES, except for
the custom handle. I looked on the Lancair website but didn't see this
style. Could be they supply a different valve now. Mark S.

I'm not sure what the source was for that valve... could be Lancair.
I'll try to find out where it came from for you tomorrow. BTW, the stock valve
doesn't have the "flag" on the selector handle, I added that to augment the
recessed knob. In its stock configuration you need Popeye arms to turn the
dial, now there's plenty of gripping surface so switching tanks is much easier.
Once the flag was attached to the knob I dipped the whole assembly in
PlastiDip, the stuff they sell for coating tool handles. Makes for a nice
non-skid grip. And yes, you're right, it routes the return line back to the selected
tank.

Is that left, right, both and off? What positions does it have?
