Default ReFueling

Hi,

This may seem like a silly question but what is the best method for refueling my 40 size trainer? I have a 46 fx on it... I bought a handcrank fuel pump from my lhs and the guy at the counter said I could just use the pressure line going to the muffler to fuel, and then recconect it back when the tank is full... well, when I tried this after about 1/4 in of fuel was in the tank fuel started coming out the carburetor of the engine (I'm guessing because of the pressure once the clunk in the tank was covered)... so I reconnected the pressure line and had to fuel the tank through the line going to my carb... this was kind of difficult because of the way my cowl is it is hard to get to that line. What is a more conveinient way to fuel.. is there a way to install a 3rd line for fueling? how would I ensure that fuel would not spill out of the fueling line when the plane is flying? Please help!

Thanks.
