Which Fuel
Guys,
The simple solution to this very real problem that I used to use was to give the fueler a piece of paper requesting the fuel upload which had a/c type, Reg, fuel type, quantity, my name and signature. This gave them all they needed. My actions were prompted after I saw a Golden Eagle pilot ask for fuel, the FBO radioed the fuelers and asked for fuel to the Golden Eagle and the fueler turned up with the A1 bowser. I saw it and stopped it fortunately but then decided to make sure my requests were more specific.
I agree that we should not be sticking decals all over the place. I once persuaded the airport management of a big airport to give the FBO and the refuelers copies of the forms I had generated for regular use.
If we request the uplift in writing then that should be enough for most places. Of course you still have to check that they actually put in what you asked for.
Don't assume - Check
