Default Smoke with muffler pressure only

Hi guys,

I want to make some smoke with my 120 AX, I know a lot of you will tell me that it's not worth trying to get smoke out of a 2-stroke glow engine, but i'd like to give it a try, I don't want gobs of smoke, just a decent trail without having to run too rich.

The engine will be running on a pump, so muffler pressure is available for other things

I've included a graphic (if you can call it that) with my intended plumbing.

My questions:

1.- Will muffler pressure be enough to get enough flow?
2.- Will the smoke fluid tank explode because of pressure buildup as soon as I close the smoke valve (because of the check valves)? [:-]

Ideas & Suggestions are gladly accepted (as long as it's not a "give it up, you won't get any smoke pal")
