There is a load of waffle about hot refuelling. I was refuelled rotors running both miltary and civil for some 43 years. During all that time I never saw or even heard about a fire breaking out when refuelling with jet fuel.
The onlr fire I know about was when one was deliberately started when making a Royal Navy training film involving refuelling a piston engined Whirwind.
