Hm. I guess I could rotate the whole airport so that my hangar faces lefthand UPHILL instead of downhill, but it is going to take a moby-large bulldozer to do it. My hangar slopes slightly downward toward the left wing. I just park my 182L (LR tanks) with the left wheel sitting on a 1/4" x 12" x 6" chunk of plywood. Even without the plywood, mine only drips if it is brim full, or if the temperature increases by 40 degrees F or more since it was fuelled. It doesn't drip if the temperature drops, or if the fuel level is below or just even with the bottom of the filler neck, at which point you can only jam in another 2-3 gallons per side.
