Default Engine Care !!! ( After A Day At The Feild )

Hi,

Just a quick question, all the books i seem to read and magazines all state when you have finished flying you should either disconnect the fuel line or after youve drained emptyed the fuel tank after your last flight........ and to start you engine again to make sure all the fuel is out of the engine..... then use after run oil...............

I have never seen anyone (including myself) do this at the field of course we all empty them but never start them again to get rid of any fuel in the engine itself and all the engines seem to be fine........... i tried it once but i couldnt get it too start soo i guess thier wasnt any fuel in thier lol....

What are your views on this ?

Thx in advance im just curious as i want to try to keep my engines alive for as long as possible as im moving up to large fourstrokes and they can tend to be a bit pricey......
