The same scenario I was describing here. When we had the SOAPA fly in last year at Branson we based at Point Lookout and your incident was brought up by several pilots around the airport at Point Lookout. The way that I checked my tubes that drain from the service port to the underside of the wing (yes these pass through the tank on all skymasters) was to seal the bottom side of the tube under the wing and add fuel to the tube from the top at the service port to see if the fuel stays in the tube or releases somewhere between. I did this with some of the tanks out of the wing but this could be performed with the tanks in place on the aircraft. It is good to know that you and your passengers were able to walk away from this incident and I respect your choice to tell the story so that maybe someone else does not have this issue.
