I for one never allow my aircraft to be fueled without me being present and always sample the fuel during preflight whether it was just fueled or not. I always make sure it's a truck clearly labeled 100LL.
Here in Las Cruces last month several people involved in fueling a medical transport plane dropped the ball according to the prelim from the NTSB. A Cessna 421 was fueled with 40 gallons of Jet A with predictable results.
It is so sad and so preventable. So lets check those tanks and not be complacent about it!
