As to your question about where the engine gets its fuel to hot start ... Even
though you killed the engine with the mixture control, a bit of fuel will still
leak out of the injector lines and into the intake after the engine is shut
down.


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.
