   The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position to the other opens or stops the flow. Also called sliding blind valve; Outflow valve: regulates flow and pressure, part of cabin pressurization; Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve

   In some aircraft, the shut-off function is a different valve located after the fuel selector valve. Typically, after the selector valve—situated at a low point in the fuel run—there is a gascolator — a fuel filter that can be opened on the ground and drained of fuel impurities denser than petroleum, mainly water and sediment.

5. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

   For air intake shut down, two distinct types are commonly utilized, i.e. butterfly valves and swing gate or guillotine valves. Because diesel engines ignite fuel using compression instead of an electronic ignition, shutting off the fuel source to a diesel engine will not necessarily stop the engine from running.

6. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

   [26] This mechanism eventually developed into the modern gasoline pump cut-off valve. [27] Most modern pumps have an automatic cut-off feature that stops the flow when the tank is full. This is done with an auxiliary sensing tube running from just inside the mouth of the nozzle to a Venturi pump in the pump handle. A mechanical valve in the ...

7. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

   Fuel primer pump - A manual pump to add a small amount of fuel at the cylinder intakes to assist in starting a cold engine. Fuel-injected engines do not have this control. For fuel-injected engines, a fuel boost pump is used to prime the engine prior to start. Fuel quantity gauge - Indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the identified tank ...
