[C320-list] Fuel Assembly Question

[Scott Thompson]

For the problem of spilling fuel out of the vent I highly recommend the 
"No-Spill" device, which I have seen at many marine supply stores.  I 
use the #2 model. Here is the web site: 
http://www.tgmmarine.com/nospills/default.htm. I keep one in the cockpit 
locker. BTW, it is VERY important to remove the lid from this device 
while fueling, which appears unnecessary at first glance. Otherwise air 
pressure from the vent will cause it to just pop off into the water.
