I know it kills all the bugs living in the fuel tanks who have a taste for gourmet Jet A1 but am concerned about its cancer inducing chracteristics?

The Cans are notoriously unreliable and the dispensing caps even more so.
Pouring with rain you have to stand outside with the refueler finger firmly pressed on the dispensing button for what seems like an eternity.

I use surgical rubber gloves but even then some cans blow back when attaching so you have to look away while attaching the nozzle.

I believe refuelers are stopped by H and S from handling the stuff yet we do.
This is on a Citation 2 and while used most of the time there can be an occasion when the cans dont work or you dont have it.

I was interested as to when its vital to use Prist or when you can get away without? or use lower amounts than recommended?
Plus getting fed up getting soaked (by rain every time we refuel. The co has a habit of vanishing at refuel times.
