I've seen <insert name of nearby sausage factory> students in brand new 172's use the cold start procedure after refuelling and sit there wondering why it won't start. It's enough to make you weep.
I have seen this at Parafield in Adelaide. The FCU's have to come off so often to get all the dye and goo cleaned off the diaphragm about every oil change! I kid you not.
