Hm. I guess I could rotate the whole airport so that my hangar faces lefthand

it.


My hangar slopes slightly downward toward the left wing. I just park
my 182L (LR tanks) with the left wheel sitting on a 1/4" x 12" x 6"
chunk of plywood. Even without the plywood, mine only drips if it is
brim full, or if the temperature increases by 40 degrees F or more
since it was fuelled.

It doesn't drip if the temperature drops, or if the fuel level is
below or just even with the bottom of the filler neck, at which point
you can only jam in another 2-3 gallons per side.
