Hi Andre,
Sounds like another neat little idea - no more pulling lines off and looking for jars to prime into, etc. So, I assume it does something like checking the engine RPM in order to decide whether the incoming fuel should be returned to the tank or injected for combustion ?
I know you are really thorough, so you're bound to have thought this all the way through - but I have to ask : what steps are taken to ensure that this doesn't cause an inadvertant flameout by having the fuel sent back through the overflow tube instead of into the engine ? (e.g if the RPM sensor dies).
Later,
