While refueling a B767 the other day I found one of the fuel caps missing. Knowing we had one in stock I returned to stores collected it and returned to the aircraft and installed it. After filling in the refuel sheet I made a log entry..
Defect :-Fuel cap missing from wing fueling station...
Rectification :- Fuel cap replaced with "s" item per AMM 28 blah blah
Part num on ser num on and GRN
Twenty mins later called back to aircraft Capt throwing hissy fit...
He cannot find MEL/CDL ref for this.....Do not need one capt i fitted a new one...
" How do i know you fitted the correct one"
"How do i know you did'nt fit one you found on the floor or in a bin or that op's told you to fit?"
" where is the missing one?"
"How do i know it was'nt stolen?"
I was sooo near to telling him to get a life.....
