Summary 203 Max talks about the different ways your aircraft can get misfueled, and the steps you should take every time you get fuel, to ensure you don't get misfueled. A Baron 58P that recently crashed at Palo Alto airport, appears to have been misfueled. Sumping the fuel doesn't guarantee you'll catch a misfuelling. Also a 50/50 mix of 100LL and Jet looks the same as 100LL.
