Bottom line, you have to educate yourself, and be knowledgeable enough to
know what is a real risk and what is not. Just taking some experience from
an automobile and trying to apply it to all aspects of wiring an airplane is
not the right thing to do.
Mike B:
912's come with an installation manual. I don't know if you knew that or
not, since you didn't build your MKIIIx. Installation manual indicates how
to wire and plumb the engine.
I bet HKS also has an installation manual or a chapter in their engine
manual dedicated to installation procedures.
If all else fails, go to the manufacturer for information on installation,
wiring, and plumbing their engines.
Take care,

Hi John,
In my MK III Xtra I have rebuilt the entire fuel system. I put new certified aircraft type fuel lines on with firesleeve down to tanks,and also on the engine itself like the new 912-s come with, and also changed the location of everything so that my fuel pump is below the fuel level down in the belly, and also installed a gascolator down in the belly so that I can drain the fuel like a real airplane  I have the Kolb 18 gallon tank sitting in a box, so I will also be changing the original tanks soon. I also have the 6 gallon "corss country" tank mounted up in the V area behind the seats, so I will soon have a total of 24 gallons in my Kolb. I only have one facet pump since the engine driven fuel pump on the 912-s is very powerful, it will draw fuel with or without the electric pump running.
Mike
