etc point to the side-filler Europa pipe, with 45 degree bend, which was an
alternative to the top-of-fuselage original filler.  I have the latter, the
long pipe coming down through a hole in the rear bulkhead.  Was this a different
pipe batch?  Inspection shows no problem with mine, I fill to the top before
every flight, ie right up the pipe, then fly, then leave tank with about 3/4
full ie the pipe is not immersed for long.  I fly once a month,  Nice constant
temps in Kenya 15-28 C for storage, all seems to be OK.
