I get a phone call on the line yesterday to go fuel the local regional t-prop. After kind of rushing around and hearing them come in I rush out to the truck and speed over there. Get the bonding cable hooked up. Get the step ladder out. Chock the truck. Start to record the meters......what the? They are like 30,000 gallons off! What the hell did Steve do to this thing?
The truck is painted blue.....DAMMIT!
So I throw everything back into the truck and haul my tail over to the FBO where I'm fully waiting for the 4 other guys I was just talking to to be laughing hysterically. Nothing. I get the other truck and go back( all this for a whopping 30 on the right, not worth the embarrasement) After avoiding the pilots who could have seen that, I get back and go inside. Nothing. How could this be? I just couldn't keep it to myself so I had to tell. After some very hard laughs, ON ME, we got into a discussion on whether a turbine engine can accept AvGas. I think it can, but could anybody explain to me what it would do, or how bad it would be if it had to burn through a little bit?
