Fuel filler

I was a bit shocked when reading through the Sonex builders site when someone mentioned about sealing off the tank and vent area from the cabin.  I had not given it a second thought before and was a little disturbed I hadn't. The possibility of fuel to spill straight onto my feet, so as to speak, during refuelling was a mission I had to set about to fix. Needless to say, I adopted a fix that someone else had already thought of that seemed quite simple and elegant. I perhaps made a bit of a dogs breakfast of it regarding the sealant used, but it is sealed and fuel proof, so that's all that matters.



I still need to add a drain to the cavity of some sorts but I will get to that when I see about my real estate options on my firewall further down the walking trail.
