8mm ID 10mm OD.
You can use compression fittings on the pipe as well because I've done it.

There is a difference between cutting the line, and blocking the line though -
cut it, and the engine will run until it draws air
block it, and it will run until the vacuum builds too high
In my experience, the latter will result in no power fairly quickly.

Why 6mm?
Return line is 6mm flow is 8.
The tap bore needs to be the same bore as the pipe really or you may suffer fuel starvation at high rpm.
If you are looking at the electrical shut off taps I found non that had an 8mm bore when I was going to do this. If considering a manual shut off, you can use any full bore lever valve from a plumbers place with 10mm compression fittings.
I havent found a way yet of mounting this set up so it's accessable but hidden from tea leaves.

Simples then. Quality branded lever ball valve with 10mm compression fittings. Supposed to use inserts but I haven't and 14yrs later, no leaks.

Interesting
Couldn't find a large bore one of them (well, it's 7mm so close enough I guess) when I last looked.
Good find @Hicap phill

Used to run one on old motor no worries. Can use push fit fuel fittings
For easy fitting
Also used a brake line lock(bit pricey)
They would have to pick the whole motor up to steal it.

Ive got one of them as well, cant remember the bore, it might well be 6mm id?
