Just so people don't think I was ignoring John's comments, we have also text and spoken about these thoughts.

I'm at a loss to explain it. I've run the VT80 on the bench several times with no issues at all.

What we do know is that it cut twice in the Venom, one fuel tank was leaking (craked), the engine flamed out at full power takeoff run and it coincided at the point of hitting a little rough ground.
I've checked and wiggled all wiring whilst running at full power and I tried to emmulate the same conditions with high speed taxi runs but she kept running.

With JRI's theory in mind, the only difference between the scenarios was when she cut, the fuel tanks were brimmed full which was causing a leak. Upon my attempt to recreate the conditions, the tanks were about half full.

Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
