Never as clean as the one in the picture though lol.

Scrap yards have some cool equipment. I love the big electro-magnets, often mounted in a similar way. I bought some used forklifts from my work once. They came as a lot and I sold all but one, it was just a pile of junk. I couldn't give it away so I decided to cut it up and haul it to the scrap yard. Last load was the chassis which weighed 2700 lbs. Guy drives up, hovers his gently caress off huge magnet over it and turns it on. Nothing for a few seconds, then it starts to vibrate and DOINK, it popped off the back of the truck like it was weightless. Pretty cool.

E: I guess he did that all while I stood literally 5 ft away so I guess OSHA.

So airplanes use a disgusting amount of fuel and don't have much in the way of filters. They count on the filtering being done ground-side. Because of the amount of fuel they go through it's extra important that jet fuel is clear of contamination. One aspect of filtering jet fuel is removing water contamination. The old style of filters do this by absorbing the water and filters are replaced every year. The new filters are water separators and are good for 3-5 years, but because they separate water from fuel it's important that they are drained daily to prevent buildup of water contamination.

I'm currently on vacation. Last time I went on vacation I came back and found water contamination in most of the units with the new filters because my co-workers weren't doing their jobs. There's a new fueling company that never did any kind of compliance for the whole summer. Maybe they were dumping contaminated fuel into the pits at night, or maybe they never drained their filters and pumped dirty fuel because they didn't know better? Anyways they are doing the right things now, because I see them doing it now whereas before they had no legitimate way of collecting or disposing of contaminated fuel. There's a 3rd company that's even worse and I'm actually confused about how the FAA hasn't shut them down. I think there's not enough g-men that know the rules to actually enforce them so right now it's kinda an at-will thing. Be good or don't. What does happen is eventually an airline auditor comes along that knows their stuff and then they report violations to the FAA.

Well the sad thing this is the playbook that certain people operate under is to intentionally break government functions just so they can point at those functions as evidence that government is disfunctional and incapable of working.

It was pretty cool to watch them demo the building next door to my work with one of these things.

Id trust a parachute over that thing.

One of the common jokes in aviation is that they have a 100% success rate because they've never had an aircraft get stuck up there but if anyone could do it it's gonna be pilot in a Russian helicopter.
