Fareastdriver,
There are just one or two differences between an aircraft and a car, not many I admit, just a few.
Civy requirements for safety are very, very different to military requirements. Why increase the risks when you are able do things effectively and more safely through use of simple planning and preparation.
You also have to remember the MOD has much experience at hot fuelling: this chap does not.
