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.
Ding ding ding. The knuckle head had to work to get Jet A into an av gas tank. The article said he thought the Piper Aerostar “looked” like a jet! :totap: :headscratch
