By opening manually, I meant just opening the oil hatch on the top of the
RV cowl to let it cool. With that up in the air it would be difficult to
miss and if I did miss it during a pre-flight, then I'd probably not be
doing a good job of my pre-flight inspection.
But I do think it's a good idea and one that I may have given more serious
consideration to if I'd known about it earlier this year when I was doing
fiberglass work on the cowl.
At this point though it looks pretty easy for me to add the fuel purge to
the injector header, so unless somebody talks me back from the ledge, I'm
probably going to jump. Just as soon as I finish a solar mod on my boat so
I can take my kid fishing tomorrow.
