The air pump I'm proposing and testing right now is tiny and only draws about 140ma Im sure it could be "packaged" in a single unit about the same size as a regular servo and contain the board, pump and orifice - Just one line to the tank vent and one (or two) hook-ups to the electronics is all that would be required.

I think this is only going to get proven out by actual testing - so stay tuned.
Here's another one I've been thinking on. Will the stihl solenoid control airflow? If it will then we could use checked crankcase pressure to the tank and control that pressure with the solenoid used as a programmable bleed off valve . No crap trap, no air pump, no additional battery mah. Hmmmmm
