Colleague fills Caravan with fuel contaminated with seawater. (Mog)
Engine quits as he lines up.
Finds water in the fuel drain so leaves it open and drains out around 30 gallons before he gets to fuel.
Cranks engine until it starts (how that related to start cycle limitations I never found out)
Flies back to Nairobi with pax with no more ado.
Feels it unnecessary to even mention this to maintainers of management, let alone enter the event in the tech log...

It should be noted that both the fuel contamination and the insane behaviour of my ****witted colleague were products of the US Navy.
They do say you can't take Africa out of the man. In some cases far, far too much of it gets into him in the first place though.
