Hi Brian

sometimes you can get fuel into the turbine when refuelling
Just love your beach

Yet to install my Wren into aircraft so interested in your comment. I had assumed that nothing would get through the pump and fuel solenoid when refuelling, so is the case you describe for wet starts only applicable to manual plumbed systems? I had not intended to fit a shut off valve relying on the solenoid instead.
