Fuel Drip Containment

Hi Jim,

I have seen people hang an empty plastic oil bottle on the fuel vent to
catch the dripping fuel on Cessnas. Have you tried this? It shouldn't be too
much of a fire hazard and will save your hangar floor. Just make sure that
you drain the bottle regularly because the angle it sits on the vent, it
won't hold a whole quart of fuel. Using a GATT jar or some other filter, you
can reuse the fuel.

Snarly Charlie, the 182, has the classic "Cessna drip" from the fuel vent
when
the tanks are filled and the hangar gets warm. I've tried everything I
know to
stop it, but all I can do with all the mechanical fixes is slow it down.
