NC Fuel Inspection

Wouldn't ya know it....on one of the yuckiest days of the year, the NCDA inspector comes to the Asheboro Airport to do our once-a-year fuel quantity calibration. It's 32 degrees and raining...

He has to pump 200 gallons of each fuel from each nozzle. 4 different ones - one for Avgas and 3 for Jet-A.




You have to be within .4 gallons for 100 gallons to be rewarded with this year's little sticker:

AWWWW! You got your little sticker! Good job!

Question...................do they put the 200 gallons back?

Karen said...

good question - yes, they do...they rig the hoses to recycle the fuel back into the tank after the measurement is complete. that would be 800 gallons total - wow that's a lot of $cash if they didn't give it back!!!

Interesting. That's not much leeway. Glad to know someone is looking out for us. And glad you got your sticker. MOM
