(a) Means shall be provided to permit the flight personnel to shut off rapidly the flow of fuel to any engine individually in flight. Valves provided for this purpose shall be located on the side of the fire wall most remote from the engine.
(b) Shut-off valves shall be so constructed as to make it possible for the flight personnel to reopen the valves rapidly after they have once been closed.
(c) Valves shall be provided with either positive stops or "feel" in the on and off positions and shall be supported in such a manner that loads resulting from their operation or from accelerated flight conditions are not transmitted to the lines connected to the valve. Valves shall be so installed that the effect of gravity and vibration will tend to turn their handles to the open rather than the closed position.
[(d) Fuel valve handles and their connections to the valve mechanism shall incorporate design features to minimize the possibility of incorrect installation.]
