Who the heck flies a plane without visually examining their fuel

Oh, wait -- I forgot about those silly *high wings* and that whole
"find a ladder" thing.

What is this "find a ladder" bit? Every Cessna I've flown has a built-in
step to allow visual inspection of the fuel level. It's part of the
pre-flight regimen. Along with the 13 drain points in newer models... I
just want to know how they managed to get so many low points in their
tanks, and who thought that was a Good Thing? ;-)
