"The fire should go out without fuel." Do you want to bet your life and your passenger's lives on that statement? Once a fire is started, with 200mph oxygen feed, putting it out isn't a simple matter.
Why would you not build in the best fire protection available at reasonable cost with no extra weight or complexity? Stainless heater valve and integral fire sleeve hoses seem like a no brainer. If $300 extra cost for those two items combined are a budget buster...maybe avionics budget or something else needs readjusting. IMHO it is about as smart to leave those items out as leaving out shoulder harness.

Am I missing something? Just cut off the fuel. The fire should go out without fuel.
