I'm not catching your point. Why would an FBO do anything an owner didn't

This one I learned the hard way early on -- I flew the fam down to
Ocean City for the day in a rented Cherokee Archer. Everyone was
anxious for the beach so I told the FBO desk lady, "Only to the tabs,
please!"

When we returned at 10 PM, guess what?

Right -- overflowing.

My (then) 150 lb son had to stay the rest of the week with friends who
were vacationing there. With him on board I would have been 30 lbs
over max allowable gross.

It wasn't too great a hardship for him, but could have been a major
inconvenience.

So now if I don't fuel it myself, I stand and observe and check the
levels as he/she is fueling and afterwards, and *I* secure the caps.
