I fitted this today to a gravity feed system, a solenoid shut off valve.
Could be good insurance on the bike, in addition to the tap. Fuel only flows when the ignition is on.

Noel,
I'm looking for a solenoid valve NC that I can use on my chain oiler with a pushbutton to open for flow.
What are the inlet and outlet sizes, and are they available is ~3mm sizes? Price? Where?
Cheers,
Arnie

I dispatched the owner to hunt one down, I'll find out for you.

This is what I used for my auto chain oiler, from ebay. 1/8" is a pretty standard fitting size, I just went to the hardware store and got barbed fittings and tubing to fit the solenoid.

search ebay for this: 12VDC Water Air Gas Fuel NC Solenoid Valve 1/8" BSPP to get this:
