Everyone understood that a Chief Tech was superior to a Flight Sergeant, even if not senior to him. I recall being told that a C/T was a tech trade F/S but I eventually realised, as I met more of both ranks, that there is indeed a difference. for exactly the same reasons that the Junior Technician needs a differentiation, I suppose the Chiefs are entitled to the same.
A Technical trade Flight Sgt is still a qualified tradesman so wasn't superior to a Chief Tech as he was simply moving up the trade rank structure, though you might as well call a Chief Tech a Tech Sgt as you no longer have a Junior Tech to play the rank off against, if that makes sense.
Over fuelling on start...mixture closed, throttle fully open and crank will normally start it, just get ready to swop them quickly when it fires.
