Ive long since moved to the dark side (flying them instead of fixing them). Years ago a certain amount of fuel was drained from all jets tanks to check for contaminants, rarely was any found, but this fuel was drummed and disposed of. Back in the early 80's we had a piot who bought a diesel rabbit, every few days we'd sneak out to the parking lot and put a few gallons of jet a in. He believed for months that he was getting 75 miles to the gallon, and was not bashful about telling anyone. When we stopped he took the car to the dealer and *****ed up a storm at their service department. I still chuckle over it.
