I hope they put a pretty good effort into it instead of just saying it was all too damaged in the fire and they can’t tell.  I think it could potentially save lives in the future to know what really happened.

Couldn’t agree more.

story of a systemic failure, owner tried everything he knew how to resurrect a vintage piece of machinery that would cost close to $1M to produce new, a lot to be learned, the question I am asking myself is what can be done so the frequency of this kind of systemic failure does not increase but decrease, no simple answer

This is not a valid statement.

Several more things could have been done that were not done.

Check the screen after the fuel pump.

Check the screen at the gas selector switch

Check the screen at the Fuel servo.

Depending on what was found.   Rebuild the fuel servo.

Leak down test on mechanical fuel pump. 

After checking the screens, I would probably have did a baby jar test, to see what came out and flush the lines and see if fuel was dividing properly. 

Dollar value of above is about $1,000.00

This is what came out of my fuel servo screen after flying it home.

FWIW, I sent a link to this thread to the NTSB.
