They talked, then he returned. I killed time as ag-planes came and went. Soon my Ag-Cat returned. Minutes later I touched down at Ciudad Mante. I discovered It's not easy to fuel up through a chamois skin.
Fuel takes forever to dribble through animal hide.
Two men were pulled away from a duster operation to help me fuel eight gallons. Big barrels had to be rolled around. I hefted the cans up to my tanks then repeated the whole process. It took 45 minutes to transfer that eight gallons. I held my breath for the fuel bill, and sure enough the operator bumped up the price about 20 percent, still a small price to pay for a lot of hard work and inconvenience.
