I really wouldn't like to pour fuel on my hands every time I was going to fly. It's not particularly healthy so to speak. The same about smelling.
I'd rather use any other method. (Which I do!)

I notice that every post that refers to EFATO always follows EFATO with (engine failure after take off).
I really think we are aware by this time that EFATO means (engine failure after take off). Is it at all possible that the abreviation EFATO does not get automatically followed by (engine failure after take off)? Or is it to point out to the non flying reader that what EFATO actually means is (engine failure after take off)?

My apologies! It seems to be an automatic entry once "Submit" is pressed. In which case why not follow IMHO with (in my humble opinion)?

Yes, p p r u ne does the substitution automatically. Very irritating. You can avoid it by putting spaces between the letters, for example.

I was going to suggest that fuel testers should contain a bead with a density of .9 so that it would float in water and sink in fuel, but spitting seems simpler...
