Please don't give Battert any ideas.
Hush now, I've been using that to siphon fuel from the visiting planes for the TVR. Don't tell everyone.
Plus any medical use it might sting, just don't smoke near it for gods sake.
The Albanians have a couple of old MiG 15's they sometimes bring over.

I wouldn't pinch any fuel out of those buggers. The Lagonda will run quite happily on it, I don't think the TVR would be too chuffed though.

If you work out the theme, you can guess loads.

But you might be wrong and still only get three.

Batters has given me some foul smelling fuel additive that raises the octane level, says it'll put hair on it's chest. Might be the same stuff he puts in those fancy bottles.
