Air BP's rules were no sticker beside cap (either type) no fuel. Or fill in a fuel order form.
I can still clearly remember one pilot who despite the fact that I was standing behind the Avgas bowser, grabbed the Jet A1 hose & started towards his piston engine aircraft. Normally I used to have the Jet A1 pump locked, as well as the hose reel chained. This particular morning had been very busy, & while the bowser was locked the hose reel wasn't chained. I waited until he'd taken about a dozen steps then said to him "Sir, that is the JetA1 hose - not the Avgas one". I swear I have never seen anyone turn white as quick as he did!
