Hi,
        Has anyone tried to build or purchase a spring loaded self
sealing fuel cap?  I have been looking at some web sites at dry break
fuel systems used for refueling race cars.  I think something similar
that can be opened with the fuel truck nozzle then close after withdrawal
would work.  It seems that the checklist is not a deterrent for fuel cap
incidents.  Any ideas?  Thanks for any help.
