Default RE: fueling up

I've been using the Hanger 9 hand pump for 5 years now.  Still pumping.  I've also used the "turkey baster" bulbs, and they work fine. 

I don't use a catch can or bottle.  I simply use another length of fuel tubing that directs the vent back to the fuel jug.  When the aircraft is full, excess fuel goes right back to the bottle.  A few backward cranks to clear the lines, and no spillage.  I also don't hve to worry about trying to pour the fuel from the catch can back into the bottle.  I filter the fuel going into the plane so any crap that gets flushed into the bottle stays in the bottle.
