One of the things that impressed me over 7 years ago when I entered the turbine world was how careful the jet pilots were to use overflow tanks and such at Wingham.. Being one who's club is on a sod field, we have to be very careful not to burn the grass. I would preach to the guys with nitro and gas engines to do as the jet guys do, and use an overflow tank as back then I never seen a spill. So what has happened!?!? I havnt been to Wingham in a couple of years.. but it sounds and looks from the pictures that you guys are bathing in the stuff. When did eveyone become so lacksydasickle when fueling their planes?

Use an overflow tank and PAY ATTENTION!
