We have developed our own system specifically removing all the problem areas that other kits employ. Push on brass fittings, mcmaster nozzles, meth solenoids, paddle wheel sensors, and inappropriate pumps are all areas we have insured were NOT used in our kit for maximum reliability and 100% methanol safe.
when a kit is put together right, it WILL NOT leak. Such a kit will run water methanol in any concentration without any issues.

I was under the impression that when an injector was not receiving a signal it was closed, meaning that it shouldn't be leaking, right? Methanol can be an oxidizer but it shouldn’t be any more corrosive than any of the crap that gas companies put in their mixtures. Also the placement of the reservoir should not really matter due to the adhesive properties of methanol. It's a lot like water when siphoned, once you get it going, it will continue to flow.

Meth injection systems do not use electrical injectors.

instead of a check valve what do you think about setting something up that when i turn the car off i hit a button or a switch to reverse the pump flow briefly to drain the line back to the tank and when i start the car the next time prime it to refill the system? not sure how complicated that would be but sounds like it would solve my problem.

Shurflo pumps are one way pumps only.

Even if you could do that, it is a matter of gravity which will end with the same result.

get rid of unnecessary parts, simplify the system

tank -> pump -> solenoid valve -> atomizing nozzle + relay/hobbs swtich + a good failsafe
