Harry, you got lots of answers and this may be too late, but: If the plane
is full of fuel it will not take that long to drain three, 5 gallon cans of
fuel... It is a high wing and you don't even have to get dirty... Just
remember to clip a ground wire between the can and the plane while the fuel
is draining...

Good question, btw...

Cheers ... Denny

THAT bears repeating.......
over, and over, and over........
Trust me, I know.....
In my case I was filling a gas can and the arc that started the fire jumped
about 3 inches........
I had the presence of mind to put it out but the potential for burning the
gas station to the ground was right there in front of me.
