I am not sure I understand your fueling connection so I won't comment on that, save reminding you that you cannot use a one way check valve because the vacuum caused by the pump would open it and let air in.
Good luck fixing your issue!
Thanks for your advice and we will consider using the polyurethane hoses instead of tygon as well as avoiding hose´s sharp turns installation, however we are now waiting for the USB interface cable delivery to try learning more from the recorded data and conclude the actual cause of the shut down prior any action as advised by gunradd above. Anyway, thanks again for your advice.
