You must have read my mind, I couldn't agree with you more.  Hey, what about 
the problem of accidentally un-porting fuel on those "header-less" planes, 
eh?  Or forgeting to switch to the fullest tank, or etc, etc...  It's all a 
matter of getting a system that works and staying with it, no sweat, except 
maybe forgetting to switch the pumps off when full, which I've done more than 
a few times.  Time to buy a stop watch or maybe install the auto-fuel 
system...

Well said...

David--Don't worry, if ever I see your N-number in the air, I'll try to keep 
my distance, that is,  if I'm not too busy switching my damm transfer pumps...
