Thx Paul for the caution. So far I have not seen any impact to fuel
pressure. I may install a small shield to reduce the pitot pressure. I
fail to see though how pitot pressure could over-ride the fuel pump return
spring... just seems to be a bit overblown? If I do see negative impacts,
I will glass in a small tube along the inside of the cowl well away from
the exhaust.
