Using drained fuel for lawn mower.

When using 115-145 fuel I always filled up my Zippo when preflighting
and draining water out of tanks. We didn't have the plastic jars to
drain into so let fall to ground under bird (in old days). Had to be
careful and shake excess out of lighter (Zippo) or first couple of
times when lit, would get a 6 inch flame and could singe your eye
brows lighting your cigarette or pipe. )

Of course we never worried about the lead (TEL) in the gas (lots in
the high octane fuel) and inhaling it when lighting the tobacco (
Probably part of the cause of my lung problems today.

P.S.: Nevertheless, when this thread began, I really was tempted to
suggest that the multitude of drains was to collect enough fuel to run
a lawnmower--since we no longer throw it on the ground and most pilots
don't put it back in the aircraft. :-)
