There have been many airplanes and aircraft repair stations burned to the ground during defueling operations. If you use plastic containers, be extra careful and run a bare copper wire from inside the fuel tank on down into the fuel in the accepting container. Ya can't be too careful!

Good reason to go for a flight to burn up most of the fuel from the center tank before draining in to jugs. Randy. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

The mech asked if the pilot and co-pilot airspeed indicators were connected to seperate pitot tubes. I checked the only Mantenance manual which I had which was one for a 500B and I think that both air speed indicators are connected to both pitot tubes. Does anyone know for sure?
