After speaking with Mahlon again, he said that there’s still the same opportunity for a FADEC engine to have fuel in the intakes. Maybe not as much, but there’s still a risk. All the other fuel injected engines deliver the fuel to the same place mine does (I don’t know why I was thinking about throttle body injection), just that all four injectors fire fuel at once rather than one at a time.

So, looks like if I’m to start mine, I shoudl crank it a bit before firing up the FADEC units. No probs. Hopefully a new sump will be available before I fly.
