I have the Lycoming sniffle valve installed with a AFP injector. When I shut the engine down, even after running it very lean prior to shutdown, I get a small puddle of gas/oil mix. Since I don't yet have this plumbed anywhere, it drips on the inside of the cowl and runs down to the edge of the cowl and then onto the floor. This is an unacceptable mess.
I want to keep the sniffle valve through at least the phase one period, so I have to figure out what to do with the waste. I was wondering if anyone had plumbed this to a small holding container like a gascolator that could be drained before each flight....having to put a cookie sheet under the plane as if it was a T-6 just doesn't seem right to me, yet I do want to have the protection of the sniffle valve. What say ye?
