Welcome home.. glad it worked out safely...

and without sounding high and mighty.. I'm guessing you will pay greater
attention to the fuel system and its architecture in the future...
particularly when aux tanks and injection return lines are involved.

Also.. do everyone else a favor and file a NASA form.. not because of
alleged rule breaking, but because you have discovered a true safety of
flight issue that needs to be addressed.. the sooner the better.. Garmin
needs to have a fault exclusion algorhythm that removes nonsensical
readings from it's decision tree.. rather than causing a software crash..
