I can't locate a key to turn off the external stopcock. I can find 3/4, 5/8 1/2 inch square keys, but not a 3/8 inch. I've tried a tapered socket without success. Help gratefully received!
 
Thanks Redsaw, but it's about 2 feet down inside a smallish (c 6 inch diameter) plastic lined hole.

otherwise get 3/8'' socket set ext bars and use the square hole bit over it and other end in a chuck to turn.
