Default Heating the hanger

The routine for most airports is to sump (drain) a pint or two of jet-a a
day out of the big tank or the fuel truck to look for water and crap. They
used to just dump it out like we dump the fuel out of the fuel sampler
(shhhh, don't tell EPA).

I put a red plastic gas can on the fuel truck and asked them to dump the
"contaminated" jet-a into the gas can every day. Doesn't take long for me
to get five gallons of kerosene that way, and it's free and the
environmentalists stay happy too. win, win, win.

There used to be kerosene (JP4?) heaters that just required electricity
and generated huge amounts of heat. Don't know if those exist any
