True... It's no big deal... But very worth doing. 

Gord 426 Surprise. 

Homeward bound in the airport at Boston from doing the WoodenBoat show in Mystic.  Saw two A30's on moorings there...

It's not that different than holding a 5 gallon can, with pour spout, upside down. The effective pressure head is about the same. How long does it take to dump one of those into the fuel tank? You can easily cap that with your hand. So,  you are not dealing with high pressures.
