nitro re-fueling - is there an easy way?

Is there an easy way to re-fuel nitro boats?

I currently have to disconnect the fuel line from the tank lid, unscrew the tank lid with a spanner and then pour the fuel in (after spilling about 10% as the filler bottle spout is too big for the fuel tank hole). This is all very messy surely there has got to be a better setup?

Something like this
fuel valve (http://www.rocketcityracing.com/pilot.asp?pg=products&specific=jqdopoq0)
Dubro have a model as well. You will also need an electric or hand pump. I use the Dubro gas version on my boat and am happy with it.

The way that we that use fuel tanks or fuel cells do it is to remove the line from the carb and refill through that. We only use two lines, the carb line and the pressure line.

ahh ok, I knew there had to be a better way.

does it take long to fill an 8oz tank through the small lines?

like ron said, go through the carb line. i use a sullivan 12v pump, doesn't take long and it's CLEAN. or you could use the hand crank, or even (gasp) the fuel bulb...but those don't work fast enough for lazy boy's like me :D
