Whatever you decide to do, be sure to ground everything properly before removing the fuel cap. One spark could ruin your whole day.

Overflow would be an issue, but the idling vehicle would be about the same risk as the idling fuel truck if you buy from the FBO.

Not a bad idea but …
How do you know when it's about to overflow?
What about the safety issue of an idling vehicle 10' from open fuel tank?

Hum-m-m-m. The typical injection pump and ¼" line would pump less than 1 gpm.
But since I have a 36 gal tank on my van – it does get the wheels turning in my mind.

my friend burns auto gas in his luscombe. he tapped a 1/4" plastic hose off his pickup truck's injected fuel return line. with the truck idling, it pumps fuel to the high wing in maybe 10 minutes while he does his pre-flight inspection. no safety issues with extra gas cans. (just possibility of running out of gas on the way home!) kevin
