At my first US Navy duty station, they were still flying 
reciprocating engine  transports  .... Navy ID ... R5D ...  (rest of 
the world DC6)  ... when they came  in for routine  inspection, for 
some reason they had  to be fueled at the end in order to start  the 
engines  ...  Our  cars ran really good (especially my AH 100-4) on 
the 115/145 AvGas that "leaked" out of the fuel tanks  ...
