I don’t think that’s the recommended procedure.

My favourite part is that both "evaporation tests" are captioned with "~30 seconds" even though the 100LL is visibly dry after 10 seconds and the Jet A clip ends after 25 seconds with the hand looking just as wet as it started.

He knows that and is just bad at making videos.

quote:

I did do some tests in the YouTube video below based on evaporation of each fuel (100LL, Jet A, Contaminated) and found that if the fuel isn't gone off your hands in ~30 seconds, you've got Jet A on your hands. Pun semi-intended.

It gets worse in the source thread, though. The guy who made the video is employed in fuelling planes and I didn’t see any of the pilots in there saying “hey don’t do that—you’ll get lead poisoning”.

I can't watch with sound right now, I'm trying to think of any way that what this guy is doing makes sense and I assume he has to be explaining the significance of soaking his hand in leaded cancer juice in voice over?

E: I have now read the post three posts above mine and there is no reason you should have any difficulty differentiating jet a and 100ll without having to come in contact with it unless you are blind and have no sense of smell. 100ll is blue and smells like minty sweet cancer, jet a has 'straw" color to it and smells like jet a, and if you are still having issues, get a small sample and spit in it and swirl it around. Water has a much more difficult time mixing with 100ll and will appear as bubbles at the bottom, in jet a it will disperse and make the sample cloudy. Why do you need to stick your hand in it to tell what it is?????????

They didn't need a ferret because by then they realized that blowing a plug with a string attached to it through the pipe with compressed air worked a lot better.

I'm not going to say much more but in my direct experience institutional histories rarely remember things in a way that makes them look bad. I have a heard a different version of that from several people who were there.

For some reason those look like Japan -> NZ exports to me (NZ has a long history of importing used Japanese vehicles due to the combination of "not having local auto manufacturing in NZ" and "Japan being super harsh on used vehicle resale and registration")

Some of both, with gas from leaking tanks from smashed cars providing the primary fuel source and the shorts providing ignition is my guess.

It could be a number of things, such as someone's car having a known fault:

or a variety of other causes (pg 12)

There tends to be a few models at any given time that catch on fire more than the underwriters would recommend but only one make who locks you inside when it is happening.

Those are tarps protecting the cars from elements, blown off by the elements.

Mild OSHA: we had a fire drill this week (unannounced, so treated as a real fire). At the end of year company briefing today the chief fire warden gave a short presentation on how that went, and one of the problems which was discussed: a unnamed staff member figured out it was a drill and refused to leave the building when ordered by fire wardens. We had to be reminded that yes, fire drills are mandatory.
I had the pleasure of dealing with students during firedrills as there could be several thousand in the building I was Building Warden for.

One particularly memorable alarm happened 10 minutes before an assignment was due. As it wasn't a drill we expected it was real. I caught a student arguing with a Floor Warden that they really should run into the burning building to hand in their assignment, which would presumably then be burned to ashes. Little did they know that they were arguing with the person responsible for collecting their assignment. I sent them out. Not a bad drill overall.

There was construction work in the building at the time. Another time the alarm went off just as I was leaving work. Almost all the floor wardens had left by this time but there were still students studying. When I met the fire brigade at the mimic panel we were very surprised to find that it had been replaced by a piece of plywood. As we discussed leaving one of the country's largest University faculties locked out for the foreseeable future due to lack of fire protection, someone reported that they had found the mimic panel had been shifted to the far end of the building. Might have been worthwhile to send that information up to the Building Warden.
