Fuel is not compressible.
However boiling temperature decreases with lower pressure. So if the
fuel is hot, the free fall will promote evaporation of the fuel due to
the sudden drop of pressure.
So, the only way to release hot fuel properly is to release it below the
fuel level.

Well, a one-way-valve is a low weight and low complexity solution. Fuel
can only flow into the tank but never out of it.
Even when you have the fuel return in the top of the tank, I would still
advise a one-way valve. Fuel fumes also burn excepionally well, and of
course it is always possible that you end up inverted.
I recall the story of one Europa-flyer (I believe it was PH-ZZZ ) who
had an emergency and ended up unharmed but inverted. The doors where of
course blocked, and fuel started dripping on the trapped pilot. Luckily
a fire was not started and he was rescued in time.
So for this reason I don't want any port in the tank where fuel can
escape. This includes the sight gauge. I have consequently scrapped the
sight gauge.

not only my old computer but also the brand new replacement blew up. In che

concerned that some may have fallen down the hole in the ether that engulf

Philip
You mentioned the issues of weight and balance, for not using the LiFePo
battery, assuming you had the battery in the rear
As per most builds, was the option of another half kilo of ballast near the
tail considered, if so and you opted not to proceed
Could you explain why. Given the weight saving would still be about 6kg, it
would seem worthwhile to pursue
