Maybe the CAT-V3 will sport some different connection options

I suggest you offer the CAT with an option of barbs or Festo fittings. Intairco supply their VERY nicely made AirTrap with Festo fittings and a very useful defuelling coupling, as well as an optional second input. My Airworkd Hawks have a Feso fittings on the main fuel supply line from the tank , easily removed so I can connect a defuelling line, to drain the tank, the CAT is still always bubble free after every flight, the Festo doesn't leak !
