Using drained fuel for lawn mower. When using 115-145 fuel I always filled up my Zippo when preflighting and draining water out of tanks. We didn't have the plastic jars to drain into so let fall to ground under bird (in old days). Had to be careful and shake excess out of lighter (Zippo) or first couple of times when lit, would get a 6 inch flame and could singe your eye brows lighting your cigarette or pipe. )Of course we never worried about the lead (TEL) in the gas (lots in the high octane fuel) and inhaling it when lighting the tobacco (Probably part of the cause of my lung problems today. Big John ************************************************** *** ----clip---- P.S.: Nevertheless, when this thread began, I really was tempted to suggest that the multitude of drains was to collect enough fuel to run a lawnmower--since we no longer throw it on the ground and most pilots don't put it back in the aircraft. :-) |
