SS .. Do you think there would be any legal considerations when driving a freshly crashed aircraft 450 miles down the motorway from Glasgow to Farnborough with Jet A1 sloshing around in it? Do you think the risk of losing residual fuel through any (at that time) undiscovered damage might cause a hazard and/or directly affect the subsequent investigation?
Do you mean like in this incident?

"A significant quantity of fuel was drained from the aircraft at the accident site and, again, upon its arrival at the AAIB facilities at Farnborough. Approximately 107 litres of fuel were drained from the fuselage mounted tanks, but only 0.35 litres from the left wing tank.."
