If your inspector gives you grief over projecting fuel drains just point out 
that a gear up landing in a Europa isn't a gear UP landing, it's a gear NOT ALL

THE WAY DOWN landing. Unlike most aircraft, a failure to have the gear down on

landing in a Europa does not result in the underside of the aircraft being 
dragged along the runway.
