Saw a very  mediocre Subaru install at an airport this week.  The worse part was the return line for the injection system went to the low pressure side of the one fuel pump.  It turns out that 3 of us at different times asked him about his layout, and why he didn't run the return line to the tank?  We were ignored. Venting was up to par with the rest of the install. Time will tell.....

Another v6 Chevy install had a novel return line approach.  He had a high wing installation, ran the return lines to both tanks, and had two simple shut off valves, labeled, and in a different location from his fuel feed lines.  He said that way he could balance the wings better for the fuel/weight and didn't have to pay the andair prices, nice install.

Had another individual who was flying an ultralite tell me with a dead serious look on his face that the reason his 50 hp rotax engine had a 3 to 1 ratio was so that it would produce 150 hp..........
