Default Which andair fuel selector?

Hi,
Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year! My question is which fuel selector do most use, left/right/off or left/both/right/off? Thanks in advance. I'm looking to replace the stock kit one.

AFAIK you can't have both tanks selected in a low wing airplane.

Is this a trick question?

Actually, never really thought about it but did a search and found an explanation. It makes sense.

Default fuel Valve

Andair fuel Valve.
I got mine out of spruce.
I have Left, Aux, Right, Off
My thinking is If I ever wanted to make a long ferry flight I could install a tank and plum it into the Aux. The Aux is pluged and not used, but is avialiable if and when I want to use it. The Aux is labeled OFF for now.

That's a good idea! I will keep that in mind.

Default Andair

Would this be a replacement for your 6? They make a 7T model has the fittings pointed down so there is no wasted space or need of banjo fittings ,also has right /left/off set in a y pattern.
