Some do, some don't. It just depends on what kind of nozzles they have. It
also depends on the shape of your tank. My Cessna 140's tanks were so flat
on the top that even though the fuel pump at the airport where I had it
based had the shutoff in the nozzle, by the time the nozzle shutoff I still
had spilled close to a quart of fuel.

I'm ashamed to admit ,that when I started flying, I flew a club plane that
was always fueled by a line/fuel guy with a roving gas truck.
Every plane from way back then till 6 years ago was always full when I got
it.
Then, got into Ultralights, and the " carry/mix your own fuel."
Well anyway,,,now my Pietenpol is flying, and the first few main tank fulls
I hand carried from the airport next door, with 100LL.
Soon it'll be time to grow up and fly to my second permitted airport , in
Phase 1 , for fuel in Sussex NJ, to the north.
I have a 14 gal main/nose tank, and a 10 gal center/ top wing tank ( that
feeds by gravity to the main tank)
I know the mess that I've had fuelling the U/L with a gas can, and over
filling.
Do the AV GAS pump nozzles shut off automatically like a car gas nozzle?
I've only put some gas in planes since, and never filled them up. Can I
over fill the top tank and fill up the cockpit and my seat?
Or do I have to do the " watch the gallons and do the finger wave thing"?
What I'm asking is,,,"do the nozzles shut off automatically?"

Not offensive at all, Corky. My only reason to comment on Lexan was to be
very careful not to spill gasoline on it, or you may not be very happy with
the results.

Pieters,
Having read the net today I feel I should ground N41CC as I did not do any
of
these good things you are discussing.
First. I used Lexan for my two windshields. After making patterns from
poster
boards and fabing my five attaching clips I bent, drilled and bolted it down
without heat, peanut oil or any other aids you talk about. SHE FLIES.
Second. On the fire wall thing. I used a sheet of .032 Stainless steel cut
to
shape of firewall without any crimping or flanging. I did make it in two
parts, the lower part removable for maintenance on fuel system and cut off
valves etc and access to the front rudder pedals.
They say this thing is experimental and boy did I experiment. SHE FLIES
Hope this is not too offensive for you purists.

Walt: Ditto what Jack said. At the 2 different airports where I have
spent time, the hoses were about 3" dia. and flowed about 200 gal. per
min. and they were HEAVY. I think if I rested the nozzle on my Piet's
filler neck, it would tare the neck out of my fiberglass tank. With the
speed of those pumps, there was no need to start the pump and go do
other things like you would do with your car at the Gas n Go while
counting on the pump to kick off on it's own. Leon S.

Walt and others
here is a solution for refueling with cans that I came
up with. It worked well for me.

Walt--one thing I noticed when hopping around to various airport on
some pumps deliver high volumes and fast flows and others much less. It's
easy to overflow your tank (s) with some of these high volume ones less you
really watch what you are doing.
