Some DAR's require that you have a valve and can
reach it with your seat belt on. I assume an electric one, as Ed
mentioned would also do. JohnD
The control valve could be outside the cockpit and operated by a dash
mounted pointer with a long aluminum tube shaft through the firewall to the
valve.

Speaking of fuel valves, the original Cozy plans
call for a manual selector valve mounted between the pilot and
co-pilot with lines up to the seat-back and then to the engine. This setup
has several connections in the cockpit that can leak.
As far as a fuel shut off valve, I don't plan on
using one, just turn off the fuel pumps. For maintenance I plan on ball
valves out of the tank (ahead of the sump tank) and these could be remotely
operated.
Thanks to all for the responses on the gauges
questions. I found some sources for the VDO units and will look at the
suggested ones also.
Any suggestions on water pressure gauge senders?
Can't find any yet.
