Kill bleeds

Post by ArizonaGuy »

(Specific to Holley metering blocksj
Sometimes I see them in the dog leg, sometimes in the booster feed, sometimes both, sometimes neither. I understand their intended purpose, what I don’t understand is the varied placements and diameters. Can y’all give me some insight into this?

If that particular booster design has a tendency to siphon then the metering block will have a "kill" bleed to prevent that.
