    Subject: do the nozzles shut off automatically??
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jack Phillips" <jackphillips@earthlink.net> 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.

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?" walt NX140DL (north N.J.)

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jack Phillips" <jackphillips@earthlink.net> 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. Jack -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Isablcorky@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Windshield --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Isablcorky@aol.com 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. Corky in La with 4 ribs completed on N84CC

    Subject: Fuel nozzle shut off
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: lshutks@webtv.net (Leon Stefan) 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.

    Subject: Fast and slow pumps-- Walt !!!
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Michael D Cuy <Michael.D.Cuy@grc.nasa.gov> 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. Mike C.
