Worst plane to fuel!

I hate fueling my AC90. It's a 30+ minute affair for more than 200 gals. 22 integrated tanks, 3 points of fueling. Have to top the center one first, then evenly fill the sides. Anything flow rate greater than 10gpm will put fuel on the wing because it hasn't trickled into the other tanks yet.

Ahh yes. The good ole Commander suck a thon. I only managed to fuel those a couple times despite the fact that my FBO was a Commander Service center and we had them in all the time.

That sucks. I hated the MU-2
 
Well lets see I have a few that to me are the worst. First one I would have to say because it was so rare, heck may not even be flying anymore but was the HANSA Jet had a stupid tail tank that I dont think the nozzle from a gas station would have fit into let alone a duck bill nozzle for JET-A. Then there was the AN225 only reason that was a pain because I spent my entire 8 hour shift fueling it and when I left it still wasnt done, of coures they pick the coldest day of the year to fly in. Not really a fan of the Fokker F-27 just because you had to drag the hose around and hook up on both wings, but it was a good work out that is for sure.
 
I've got an oddball one, took about 2 hours to fuel through 8 filler caps. Would have been annoying if it wasn't so cool looking.
