Interesting that everyone seems to accept the necessity of taking off
with both main tank fuel valves on even if one tank is empty. We had
another discussion on that a few weeks ago at the last Brampton meeting
but the Rebel only uses -6 plumbing. I had thought that the big machine
used -8 plumbing and that might make it more forgiving about this but I
guess not ? On automobiles these type of fuel issues pretty much went
away when they started bleeding vapour (and some fuel) from the carb
back to the tank. My 82 K car did that with a bleed off the filter next
to the carb. A well located vented header tank or a vented fuel strainer
would also be effective I think. I was surprised that returnless EFI
works so well but the high pressure seems to keep the vapour suppressed.
One probably doesn't want a situation where a header has enough fuel to
warm up and get airborne while the main fuel is off. My only
outstanding fuel issue is that my red and green flashing header low fuel
light is not very attention getting in sunlight so I should wire in an
audio alert or move it to the main instrument cluster.

Sorry to hear the news, but remember...machines are replaceable, people
aren't. Thanks for the pics and the honest recount of what happened...a new
asterisk goes in my personal checklist.
Get it back together...you're still closer to completion than I am!
