Reminds me of an old war story from my AF days, early 1960s.  There was
a little article in the flight safety magazine about a pilot who flew a
U-3 (Cessna 310) into some AFB and went to the Officers' Club for a
meal while the plane was being serviced.  When he got back to the plane
he saw a fuel truck labelled JP-4 just pulling away.  His conversation
with the driver consisted of

"You didn't.....?!"
"Ohhhh.... I did!"
