I was there too. The WX5 had no internal fuelling point and the pressure refueling point was too far from the door to reach from the cabin - unless you wanted to gravity refuel. Unwise in flight!
I fell off my Triumph Tina scooter owing to a surfeit of Horses Neck and perhaps the same malaise affected your recollections!!!
