1) All avionics software implements internal isolation to prevent one
part of the system from taking down another part.
2) A faulty fuel reading cannot cause the system to reboot. In
addition to testing every possible faulty fuel value, I've tested
every combination of faulty sensor readings related to this thread
and am unable to get anything out of the ordinary to happen. The
picture of the fuel sensor with the red X is correct behavior when a
gauge is fauly or giving erroneous data.

Do you expect me to believe you are a Garmin Engineer using a hotmail
e-mail addy and a 1 time poster under this username :-)

Just FYI, the poster used Google Groups, which tacks on a header indicating
the IP address of the poster; in this case that header is:

Injection-Info: e3g2000cwe.googlegroups.com; posting-host=69.247.168.62;
posting-account=YoF8rQ0AAABFBsk62Tpp2wBJ_FD_CVG_

I used the "dig" utility on one of my Linux machines to see what host name(s)
might be associated with that 69.247.168.62 address. It came up with this:

c-69-247-168-62.hsd1.ks.comcast.net.

Looks like a Comcast account in Kansas, based on my understanding of how ISPs
like Comcast assign host names to IP addresses. Garmin is headquartered in
Kansas. So the possibility can't be immediately ruled out based on where the
poster is posting from.
And I would not expect a engineer from Garmin to use his real name and
email address because as a engineer I doubt he is authorized to speak
for the company. That does not stop him from commenting in a much more
knowledgeable way then a lot of the posts about this issue.

Snip And I would not expect a engineer from Garmin to use his real name

As I said in my last message If Garmin would like more info from me I am
instructed to tell them to put
it on paper and place the request in the mail!

I wouldn't expect him to use a pseudonym that creates the impression
that he is an engineer, either. Most companies have policies that
prohibit such behavior, because of liability issues.
