I recall Jeff mentioning to me something to eliminate this:

Quoting from his email: "The FAV is positive closing, it will not leak or pass fluid when off. After the FAV, differential pressures at the face of the jets can cause fluid to be pushed out one of the jets. Putting check valves at each jet cures this. I don't have a picture handy here but they are about an inch long with barbs like the jet back and install inline right before the jets.

Might solve your problem with dribbling?

Try here: http://www.howertonengineering.net/c...ts-and-Tubing/

There are only two OD sizes.....4mm goes between the FAV and the nozzles while 6mm goes from the tank to flowmeter.

Internal diameter on the 4mm is 2.5mm.

Hmm...extending the lines from the FAV down to the IC outlet would let more volume of meth sit in those lines when the car is off, possibly dripping. I think your concerns are valid...

You can buy from Howerton for like $1.50/ft or you can buy from vishnu for $10/ft. Your call.
