Wow... that is scarey. I am extremely reluctant to have
FB0s do anyting but fuel my aircraft... just because I'm
an "owner assisted" kind of guy like you who also flies
a piper (pa24-250). (I have had my nose gear steering stops
damaged by someone who "repositioned" my plane).

Glad you made it home safe and hope that you are compensated
for the damage to your plane.

I have gotten to the point that I even put the fuel in myself.

That way we KNOW who scratched up the leading edge of the wing in front
of the fuel cap. We KNOW who filled it up instead of "to the tabs" as
requested. We KNOW who banged into the plane with a vehicle. We KNOW who
scratched up the paint putting the ground clamp in the wrong place. We
KNOW who spilled fuel all over the wing. We KNOW who put in Jet A
instead of 100LL. We KNOW who scratched up and dented the fuel cap when
it was dropped. We KNOW who scratched up the top of the wing with the
fuel nozzle.

I just cannot stand knowing this stuff. When I do the work, I did the
screw up. No question about it. I must just be funny that way.

Good Luck,
Mike
