So the system picture is: dual redundant fuel pumps, dual KEFI
controllers, each of the pair supplying & controlling a fuel solenoid,
each solenoid's output combined and plumbed to a distribution block from
whence go the individual cylinder fuel lines and nozzles/orifices.
Voila, run them both actively in parallel during TOL, and you cannot
have a power loss.

One possible problem with this idea is that we rely on the pressure at the
fuel injetor nozzle to atomize the fuel for better vaporization into the
air. Orificing flow upstream makes the pressure at the nozzle low. Just a
thought.

I think the pressure is the same Al. At the high flows we use I don't think
fuel inertia is a big problem.
