I have been facing the "alternate air" issue and haven't done anything so elegant. I do have one concern though - If and when you need alternate air, will your system function as desired? Specifically, where would the foreign object (bird) or ice be likely to cause a problem? I would think that it would be so far into the back of the system that your alternate air would not be functional - ie. the filter would be in front of the problem. A possible simple suggestion would be to put a basic screen at the cowl opening that would block passage of foreign objects. Would ice accumulate on a screen? Would this be better than accumulating farther back in the fuel servo? Is that even possible?
