[Inkscape-user] Setting Fill for a Self-Intersecting Path

Here's the deal.

I have a bezzer curve that loops back on itself. Basically I drew the out line of a very curvy pipe. When I set the fill the areas that overlap are transparent.

Any simple fixes for something like this?

I think I could start pushing nodes around and join/cut them, but then I'd loose the outline for the stroke represent that part of this is in the foreground while the rest is behind it.
