And have you ever tried draining several gallons of fuel out of an airplane? Yes. For precisely those reasons. I'm curious what you did with it, particularly if you were away from home.

I'm curious what you did with it, particularly if you were away from home.
When I was at home base, the FBO drained it into a plastic tank which I presume they have for that very purpose, and I assume they put it into another airplane (it's clean gas) or saved it for us later. Other times I've changed airplanes (to one with a bigger payload) and when I was away and was overfueled, I had the FBO drain it and I don't know what they did with it. But the procedure appears to be common enough that they are prepared for it. Jose -- Nothing takes longer than a shortcut. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
