[@MarkAviation]

Qualified Aircraft Engineer here: Gavin’s right. Basically the starboard (right wing) fuel tanks were over filled, fuel then enters a surge tank at the tip of the wing and it then “leaks” through the overflow valve under the wing. The pilots can tell by their instruments if one tank if fuller than the other and they’ll simply turn on the cross-feed valves to transfer fuel over. The valve also serves as a pressure relief valve during flight. On flights with full wing tanks you can see some fuel venting on takeoff from the same valve. Both of these are very common events and you have nothing to worry about. (Also the “sand” is used to both absorb and contain the fuel. You don’t want to use a barrel as it’ll hold fumes and therefore be HIGHLY flammable). Edit : Spelling

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Mark Aviation thank you fellow aviation nerd. I would have also mentioned that fuel dumping, and the ability to do so in flight is a regular occurrence as well.

[@Buddy-Aibo]

Mark Aviation menzies aviation

[@sean8226]

It's interesting that it would've been an issue though as it takes someone to not be paying attention for a while to overfill one of the tanks unless one of the gauges weren't displaying properly and usually there's a vent fill light that would come on to notify someone even further that the tank is overfilled. Personally I've never come across this problem having done quite a few aircraft refuels myself.

[@November5400]

Awesome to see someone else knew what was going on, ramp rat here! Cheers!

[@jonjohns8145]

@@air-headedaviator1805 I always wondered about that .. Aircraft "dump" fuel all the time for one reason or another .. Is that environmentally sound? I mean this is Kerosene, right? Can you just Dump it out over whatever happens to be under you?

41:50 I’m a bartender. Can confirm that you can see if a drink (at least a clear drink) has alcohol in it. Alcohol refracts light in a different way from water, so when they mix they create a bit of a shimmer/blur effect.

Macaulay Culkin has to have heard of RT, especially after this when I'm sure a bunch of fans tweeted him. I bet he'd be glad to be on the podcast.

[@Flightbudy2channel]

There is a vent hole on both wings and the center fuselage. The most likely scenario would be the VTO (volumetric top off) valve failed and the fuel kept flowing into the full tank during automatic fueling or The fueling valves had been manually opened and they didn’t shut them off soon enough. It really isn’t a threat to the aircraft’s flight safety, it’s just a massive mess and a mountain of paperwork for all involved.

[@oddbychoice6105]

As a former aircraft mechanic, I can confirm some planes can often leak and still be flyable. There are usually permissible limits in which something is allowed to leak, and it varies by aircraft, location, and/or the owning organization's regulations. Its usually the "where" its leaking from or the "what" its leaking on(or in front of), that usually poses a issue to it's flyable status. In my experience as a fuel systems technician, once the "why" its leaking has been identified; It can usually be put on the back-burner as long as the problem can be immediately rectified or temporarily tended to. At that point more permanent fixes are slated for when the aircraft has downtime for maintenance.

[@petertrast]

The leak comes from a petcock where fuel is sampled and checked for contamination, mainly water. EVERY flight of every aircraft this happens and occasionally the petcock sticks open and leaks and it usually just takes a couple of cycles to unstick and seal it, but if it can't be unstuck, that cell is drained and the petcock is replaced. 100% normal and nothing to be afraid of :) There are so many other things about flying that passengers know nothing about that would curl your hair worse than this...

I'm a aircraft mechanic that just looks like normal overpressure or overfill venting. That's barely anything, a real concern would be if it wasn't coming from the wing vent holes or if it was dumping many gallons pet minute.

Perfect reviews of The Rise of Skywalker. Far too many people analysing it to the Nth degree, it was entertaining!

[@deangray.]

i know i'm probably in the minority here, but i really don't like how basically everyone responds to gus being vegan by saying "wow that's crazy and ridiculous. when are you going to stop?" i want to give a disclaimer that i am 100% NOT a vegan or a vegetarian, nor do i have ANY plans to become one ever. i personally just can't make that kind of commitment to something diet related right now. that said, i have no problem with anyone else being vegan if it's there choice. i mean, who wouldn't want to eat more healthily and ethically? i know vegans have a reputation for shoving their veganism in other people's faces and being judgmental, but gus isn't doing that. honestly i'm really proud of him for sticking to it this long, especially because nobody told him he had to, he just decided to do it himself. i find it really off-putting that it seems like all his friends and coworkers are trying to talk him out of this. why are they trying to convince him to stop being more thoughtful about what he eats? it isn't hurting them at all and can be doing nothing but benefiting gus. i know i'm probably reading wayyyy too much into this whole situation, and they're all just passing jokes about something gus really doesn't even care that much about. i just find it unsettling, and i feel like people should be much more supportive of what he's doing.

[@Skorpeonismyrealname]

I have an aunt and uncle who raised my cousins vegetarian/vegan. They always said that Santa would brings bad kids meat products, since coal is useful. The meat products would be thrown out, which was disrespectful for the animals, and a lot more of an incentive for kids to be good. However, once my oldest cousin got married, her husband found that ridiculous, so her kids are given the usual coal story.
