Legally, I don't know - after all, it is
experimental. However, for your own safety, You do need some way to shut
off the fuel - perhaps an electrical activated valve might pass muster. I
do have low pressure fuel lines in my cockpit, but must admit I
am not terribly enthralled about it.

Speaking of liquids in cockpit, my kit comes with a fuel cut valve
mounted in the cockpit. Am I required to install it? I'm not crazy about
gas in the cockpit with me,but I've been told I must have a fuel cut valve in
the cockpit.

My experience is that the electrical sensor for Oil temp
and pressure are less likely to leak than a capillary tube that is subject to
vibration. I have only used electrical sensors to measure all engine
fluid parameters (except manifold pressure) and have had no problems. I
don't like liquids in the cockpit.

Group,
Fixing to get oil pressure gauge and am concerned about the quality of
the electrical sending units. How likely are they to leak or come
apart and cause complete oil loss?
Using a mechanical gauge eliminates the sender but uses a capillary
tube that can break. What are the pros and cons to electrical gauges?
