Default Fuel system question

I am setting up the fuel system on my V
1/4 scale Vampire, I am using a Jet Central Rhino gas start.
Do the festo shut off valves go before or after the solenoids?
Thanks,
Jerry B

You mean manual Ball valves? After would be normal, but somewhere easily accessible is the most important position

They will work there too. Mainly they are to stop leakage while filling the tanks, but turning them off where you have them will interrupt the fuel system too.
