Another warning, learned by experience...
Even with plenty of fuel in the tank, leaving the fuel pump on
overnight will kill the pump as well as flatten the battery.
(I have my pumps wired direct to by-pass master switch and contactor
failure)

David,
I normally shut down my engine by turning off the injectors,
followed by the fuel pumps, coils, etc.

Isn't your tank vented? Shouldn't be able to
pressurize it. Maybe you pressurized the fuel line with some
air?

Long story short, standard eng. shut-down, main

eng. remained running,,, after shaking the thoughts
of gremlins out of my head, possible as long as
20-30 seconds & quick look at fuel gauge for
tank I was on the thought came to me that I picked
up air from empty tank & pressurized it with
fuel pump, I now have an air pressure-fuel pump
backup sys. so eng. will remain running, had to shut
down elect. to stop eng. How about that one to
start the year. David R. Cook RV6A Rotary.
