The problem I have with fuel valves has nothing to do with leaks.

I am NOT a very organized person. I am notorious for walking into a room with a screwdriver in my hand, setting it down to pick up a pair of pliers, walking out without the screwdriver, and then wondering what the hell I did with the screwdriver (Sound familiar?)

So here's what happens to me:

I put a fuel valve on one of my planes, but when I have to fuel up another plane, I remove the one-of-a-kind fueling probe and promptly lose it.

Now it's easy to say, "Just put a Fuel Valve on ALL of your planes"

Yea, right. Do you know how many planes I have? I don't even bother to count anymore. And even if I did have one on every plane, I often share fuel with my dad, brother, or even another club member, so the chances of never removing the one-of-a-kind fueling probe is slim - and the chance of losing it is far too great.
