Thanks JimmyG, that was my next question.
As as a precaution I dropped the reservoir lower than the nozzle. I intend to give it try in a few hours. This is just a bandaid. That is the 1/2 assed way to deal with this ... but I’m truly not in the mood to drill a new hole, plug the old & move the nozzle.
Ultimatly a $60 precaution such as this can save me some agrivation.
Can you give me any advise on the wiring & instal.
-What triggers the solenoid ? ( same MAP sensor wire ?).
- is it positioned on the high pressure side (just before the nozzle) or between tank & pump.

It still surprises me that any vendor would sell or design a methanol system without a check valve or strongly advise to install one. It's costing me around $12k because I didn't have one as well as another in OK who didn't have one either.

I just ordered a check valve from Alky Control. Inexpensive & simple to mount.
After dropping my reservoir a few inches, effectively making the nozzle higher than the fluid level, my siphoning issue went away. Driveabilty improved & the stumble in the lower RPM range went away. The check valve has a 10# pressure prerequisite. That should do the trick & then I can retire my new ZIP TIE bracket system for the reservoir.
Thanks for everybody's help !!
