It's bad enough to deal with PC/Windows problems when I'm not flying, I sure don't what to pay $1000 to have that headache when I'm in my plane trying to have fun! Thanks for all the advice.

I felt the need for a filling system so I rigged up a boat fuel filler that had a built in vent line to fill both 5 gallon tanks. This system has been nothing but trouble. I'm on my third passenger door because when I fill the tanks a bit too fast or full they spit fuel all over my lexon doors. I have tried two different vent systems to keep the tanks from spitting when one tank fills first. I even put a smaller filler hose on the fast filling tank but nothing seems to help. Now that I have a boat it spits at me too. Maybe it's just me. I like Woody's idea of putting a access door in, to fill the tanks. This would also make it easer to access my baggage compartment. I also remember a technique John Williamson used to fill his tanks through his access door. He used a piece of 1.5- 2" PVC pipe with elbows on each end. He would put the pipe into the uncapped tank and dump fuel into the pipe. Seemed to work well. But it seems he no longer does this.
