I know when sampling fuel from aircraft tanks that we just fling the
sampled fuel into the air... maybe not the best practice, I know. But in
American waters, it's not just bad practice but is illegal to put fuel or
oil into the water. A clearly labeled small gas can is the place to dump
fuel samples. Don't ask me what to do with it when the sampling gas can
is
full, nobody's ever come up with a solution for disposing of bad fuel
(for
consumers) that I know of.

We sent all ours back ashore once a week. Not a problem as we also sent
all
the water that was drained off the bottom of the fuel pods after they had
been allowed to stand and settle for 24 hrs. It was all put in a return
used
fuel pod and sent back for reprocessing.

Where do you think all the fuel goes when military and civilian aircraft are
required to "dump fuel" in preparation for landing with weight limits???

I'm not the same Brian as "Brian D". But just because aircraft are allowed
to dump tons of fuel does not allow us to dump ounces of fuel into the North
Sea.

Agreed. I pointed that out because of the paradox and I thought that concern
was a little 'misplaced'.
