Interesting. Since the reason usually advanced for using the mixture to
shut down is
that the engine will be starved for fuel and consequently will not fire if
the prop
is moved on the ground, it seems that fuel injection is less safe than
carburetion.
At least in this regard.

I asked an examiner this question...he said it was correct, but that
it only takes a few hours for all the fuel to evaporate so it's likely
to be fine after that!
