I'm an Air Force "retired" veteran aircraft maintainer, and A&P mechanic, with many years of working on jet aircraft. Yes, the nozzles are different sizes and yes, the aircraft is required to be labeled as to what sort of fuel it takes. Your memory is fine.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 11:09 pmI used an F250 diesel to pull a race trailer several years ago. Many of my trips would entail some very long hours, late into the night. I bet I came close to doing that 20 times over a couple years. Being tired it was easier to do than one might think. I always caught myself before pumping..
In the early 1980's, I worked at DFW airport as a fueler. My memory is faded now but I swear I remember the nozzle for Jet A being quite a bit larger than avgas. I also recall the wings being labeled as avgas by the fuel caps. The guy doing the fueling really should have known better, no matter what the pilot said.
