Mine will slowly leak down through the pressure regulator, but not fast enough to preclude potential flooding with a leaky injector. But in my case, "Plugs Up", any fuel that enters the combustion chamber simply drains out the exhaust port(on the bottom) and since the plugs are at the highest point, there is less likelihood of any liquid gas entering into the spark plug cavity and drowning the plugs. This is the reason why flooding is not a significant event for the plugs up.

Ed and Chris, One item of note is if your EFI uses the small orifice bleed to prevent vapor lock the system will depressurize. This will prevent flooding even if one of your injectors has minor leakage. Bill Jepson -----Original Message----- From: Ed Anderson To: Rotary motors in aircraft Sent: Sun, 24 Jun 2007 7:18 am Subject: [FlyRotary] Method of killing power?? Chris mentioned he favored stopping his engine by turning off the fuel pumps, I turn mine off by killing the injector power switches. But, this made me wonder how other folks stop their engines. Might be interesting to know. To everyone running a rotary engine and particularly flying with one - what is your normal method of killing the engine. 1. Turning off Main Power 2. Turning off EC2 Power 3. Turning off ignition 4. Turning off Fuel Pumps 5. Turning off injectors 6.
