Narrative:

While pushing aircraft into hangar, fuel poured from fuel inlet area drain. I turned all fuel selector handles off. Fuel still siphoned from auxiliary tank to main. I am told this is a common occurrence. The cap to main tank should be placarded, 'keep tightly sealed when lower than auxiliary tank level.'
