The quick connect valve angling up on the left of the shear valve should never be left in place. The tester who was at the site last left it in place so when he went to test again he won't have to reconnect his test port: lazy practice plus if the shear valve was struck and the quick connect broke off, the shear valve flapper would activate but if the pump was running, all the fuel would gush out where the quick connect broke off.
