Amazing how fast a 365 dumped fuel in the hangar when our greenie on being asked to switch on the boost pumps had a senior moment and hit the dump switches.
How we laughed after spending an hour or so cleaning up the mess.
On the subject of fuel spills I was having a coffee with the KLM station engineer in Dar Es Salaam looking for a spot of sympathy having managed to dump the contents of a 105 main tank on the hangar floor. Not the dump system this time but another senior moment nevertheless.
"Thats just a puddle" was the response, "I had a boost pump gate stick open on a 747 in Lagos and lost 5 tonnes, try shoving the pump back in against that weight of fuel"
