Where would I find a 3/8" gas line cutoff valve to make it easy to cut the gas supply off when I need to change out the inline fuel filter.

I found a 3/8 Ball Valve at H F. and soldered into my 3/8 feed line before the filter

HF = Harbor freight. Makes sence. Can you use a valve made for water on a gasoline line? I did not know if the gasoline would deteriorate the imnternal parts especially if the valve is not all brass.

I had to go to my localy owned parts store and found a cutoff valve made specifically for the purpose I intend to use it for. None of the chain stores had what I needed (Advance Auto, NAPA, Carquest, AutoZone, O'Reilly's, etc).
