Temporarily removing fuel and replacing it into the same aircraft
"150flivver" wrote
I don't know of anything that
prohibits a private owner from defueling his part 91 aircraft and
refueling it with the properly stored "used" fuel. Common sense
requires the fuel to be kept free of contamination and proper safety
measures utilized in the refueling process.
From the things I have seen, there is even more danger in defueling. There can
be considerable static electricity generated in fuel falling into a fuel
container.
Planes have been burned to the ground, and the hangar with it. I'm sorry, but I
don't remember where I read these articles.
