OK guys....
It looks like some Hot fuel and some do not. It seems those that do not have safety concerns, and that is a good thing we should aways try to operate these turbines in a safe manner. Those that do seem to think it is a safe practice. Aside from some rude behavior contributed to Hot Fueling it does not seem to be causing any issues or accidents. I only started this thread to get advice from those who have done it to make sure If I were to do it I would be doing it in a safe manner.

There are many time at the field I fly at when It may be only me and one other guy that came to watch me fly and help out. It is not too often but for those times that I am there and just want to get back in the air (since there is no one really to BS with) then this sounds like a good option for me if it can be done safely. Now currently I am the only Turbine at my club and so if there are very many people there at all, most of the time they let me have the air to myself and when I am done we all shoot the Sh&* and talk about the jet for a little while till I am ready to do it again.

I go to fly and when I am there and not shooting any SH&* then why not save a little where and tear on the turbine and get me back up flying ASAP.

This post was not created to start a debate. If you don't like to hot fuel, then don't. If you do I doubt reading this thread will change your mind and just do it safe. I have never done it but I may if the situation arises where I think it would be useful and safe. If it works OK for me then so be it, If I don't like it or feel unsafe while doing it I will not do it again.


Thank you all for your input.
