What do you do with the fuel after 7 days?
What would you do if an aircraft crashed that had been refuelled 6 days ago?
Just a few thought provoking questions.

In our case: 300ml I believe (to line on clear glass jar) lowest point of the bowser, before first refuel of the day, disposed of into a waste fuel barrel, which is emptied as required. And in answer to the last one, regretfully inform the AAIB we can't help them. But the last is relatively unlikely and we are orders of magnitude more likely to be able to provide a sample to the AAIB than before.
I forgot to mention the fuel is also tested with a Shell water detection capsule.
Why?
