If the glider is a Schleicher self-launcher, it's a pilot problem. The valve
should be left open in flight. I leave mine open all the time on my ASH 26E, even
on the ground. It's main purpose is to keep fuel from getting to the engine if
there is a fire. The only time I shut it is during the annual, when it's tested.
Maybe it should read "fuel emergency shutoff" with red knob, instead of "fuel valve", if that is the real use of it.
