John Deakin covered this at length in his articles on avweb.

you may have to sift through a lot but it is in there. BTW there is a lot of interesting reading in most of those articles!

the upshot was that this will work for a continental but not lycoming. This was verfied to me by an engineer who had worked on our chieftains and had the misfortune of creating a large and somewhat flamable puddle under the machine while doing an engine run. But for the grace of god no fire occured.
