need shut off valve

I know this is probably not the right place, but I'm looking for the shut off valve for the small gas tank, and need to know if the original sediment bowl had the openings opposing each other or at 90 degree angle. E-mail is open.
 
It may depend on which tractor or which model. Having said that, please bear in mind that it has been more than 50 years since I last saw our Farmall Regular. I believe the gas line ran from the gasoline tank straight forward then bent to the right, then took a "U" turn and entered the sediment bowl from the right. I believe the gas line exited the bowl from the left. The shutoff valves were at the back (closest to the driver) of each tank. I hope I'm right. Good luck.
 
When I bought my 1940 H, it had the original dual inlet sediment bowl installed under the main tank. The starting tank had already been removed, but I'm sure it would have had just a shut-off valve. Having said that, I've also seen the sediment bowl installed on the starting tank, and a shut-off valve installed in the main tank, but that may have been on a '39 or very early '40? Don't know, but you may have to improvise something for a shut-off valve on the starting tank.
 
Rusty is correct. the "F" series tractors and the regular, had a straight through connection. The outlet of the sediment bowl was 180 degrees from the inlet from the starting tank.

The letter series sediment bowl, had the starter tank inlet 90 degrees to the outlet line.

In both cases, the fuel line from the starter tank had a 360 degree "loop" in it to accomodate vibration (ie. wouldn't stress break and was easier to get the right length and angle, as you could increase or decrease the loop).

Hope this helps.
 
There is a starting tank w/shut off valve and line on E Bay right now off of a M. Not sure if the tank is the same but the valve probably is. Ends in a little over 3 days.
