For those who used a non-standard air induction system, what did you use for a fuel drain in the induction? I have the FM200 intake elbow from Airflow Performance, and I have noticed that fuel tends to pool in there (which causes easy starting!) but also creates a fire risk in the event the engine is over-primed. Certified designs would normally have a drain in the air box or intake manifold, with a hose out the bottom of the cowling, to allow this fuel to drain overboard in the event. An airbox drain way my first thought, but this isn't much use in a tail dragger with the airbox "uphill" from the throttle body and intake manifold. Georg, if you are out there in internet land - I am particularly interested to know if you installed a drain?
