If this ship was going to be refueled by another boat and they needed the room, then yeah I could understand dumping it, but otherwise..........

But! Fuel and water don't mix.

And fuel is seperated before it gets to the service tanks.

So, unless it was detected in the fueling, which they stop immediately when they take fuel samples, how could water and fuel emulsify before it was caught?

Jp 5 is a fuel with a lower flash point than diesel.

We can mix it into our diesel, but we can't mix diesel in with it.

Its basically clean jet fuel.
It has tighter restrictions than regular fuel. We run our through the filters for 4 hours every single day, to ensure our birds don't fall out of the sky.

Well, it's worth a lot of money right?

Don't know about deer hunting traps, but I agree on the painful end of booby traps. They hurt a lot.

You know someone personally that had a cult christian group that was against dirt bikes riding in the woods behind their cult plantation that setup up a booby trap to stop them from riding there though.

Research, duh.

I can't stand the show, but mainly because of the shitty ass captain. He always plays it so it's not his fault if shit goes wrong. For example people wanted to do some weird mission but the people who were going to do the mission were worried about it. The captain basically said "Decide yourselves" but then brow beat them into doing it. Your a fucking captain, you make the god damn call.

For the rest of the crew. Nothing but a bunch of whiney ass rich kids who are wanting to score some sweet sweet hippy bush poontang..

Whales suck anyways. Save dolphins because dolphins are much cooler and smarter than whales.
