Never heard of this and not come across this in any of the literature.

I would doubt this .

There's however a rollovervalve to shut of the petrol supply to the pump when the 480 lands on it's side or roof. It's #8 on the image.

It's good to know this, that you will not waste gasoline from the tank after rolling ;)

Thank you Iroll :hopping:

pump shuts off when there's no engine activity on turbos. that's why you hear no buzz from tank before you start it. it needs a signal from crank sensor to start pumping.
