When I worked at Whiteman Airport, the planes were fueled from 1200 and 2000 gal fuel trucks. 3 times a day, you pulled a chain that opened a valve on the bottom of the truck, and drained out about a quart of gas in a glass masonary jar, and checked for water. That was called sumping the tank. The aircraft themselves have low points in the tank, and usually a drain near the carb to do the same thing. By the way, at the time, we just threw the gas on the ground, or poured it in the avgas truck fuel tank. A big no-no today. Water in aircraft fuel is very very bad.

Not slumped, sumped. I misspelled sump. The 'sump' is the low point in the fuel cell and allows water to collect and then be drained during a preflight inspection. Sumped fuel is what you drain from the cell to check for water in the gas. In a worst case scenario, jet fuel suspend up to 30%water for up to 3 hours. 30%. I once took two quarts of water from a helo sump...albeit it was while operating from a ship, where water in the fuel is more common, and fuel samples more critical. revmaaatin.

The wreck did not look all that bad.  Nevertheless, the video never showed him moving.  I first thought he was going to be run over, but the car drivers handled it pretty well. rw     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJuqIdnUhq4&feature=player_embedded
