I’m a little late here but have watched all your videos thus far. I too am a detailed pre-flight-r. As a student, I do not rush through anything. I constantly finding something wrong with the multiple aircraft that I train in and it pisses off the schools staff and my instructor particularly. Bottom line is that you are completely correct. "If it aint rite, theres no flight". Keep up the good work.
Wow scary story with all that water. I you ever get a chance (I always forget when I am at the airport) and I wish all instructors did this. can you show us some fuel with water on it? how does a few drops of water look in the cup? how does a 1/3 of a cup of water look in a cup of water? I have to remember to go out and sump some out and add some water to see how it looks. Thanks for the videos!
The aircraft in your story was a high wing aircraft I assume? WIth a gravity fed fuel system?

The clear fuel has always worried me about using avgas, its completely clear as well, very hard to tell for sure.

@Jason M0A...is it ok to d/load and save your videos for my own viewing/studying/prep for my checkride? Don't want to do anything illegal. Thanks.

@leyva1998 Water in LL looks like jelly in the bottom of the cup. Ever put a jellyfish in a bucket? That's what it looks like.
If it's a large volume of water, it will be white fluid on the bottom and probably particulates on top of that, then the Blue LL.
