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!
That's the whole point of this Trevor, the "so what happened" is many guys now use diesel. Spills are almost always going to happen and they did in the past too. The difference is the Jet A and kero spills dry up and you never know it happened. The diesel doesn't.
