Right, I use the Jett-Flow fittings to shut off the flow when disconnecting, like I said it's only an issue when still connected and with the airplane higher than the fueling station. Which, since I'm working on a new build, the plane is on the bench and the fueler is on the ground. It just caught me off guard when I fueled the airplane, shut off the fuel pump, went to grab something else for a bit and came back to a bone dry airplane. Like I said I suppose I'm just overthinking it, will just have to adjust my practices.
