First, let me say I've never fueled a jet. I have fuel a race car (So I
don't know how close these two are.) But this has never stopped anyone on
the net. :-)
So I'd say you don't need to make a roll except under combat conditions (or
something real close, like jabba is coming into your landing bay and you
need to get out before he kicks your ass.) So you can take all the time you
need. So unless the player was clutzing out. He could do it.
Now then how much fuel does a plane take? As for cars you can fuel them
(15-20 gals) in 15-20 sec. Now then they have special tanks so you can fuel
them fast. (extra outlets for air and stuff) So anyway in 2 mins you could
get 120gals in (and change the tires :-)
Another question on TV they always talk about how many pounds of fuel they
have left. Is this a more proper unit to use in a/c?
As for setting fuel off. On a nova from 1 or 2 seasons ago ("How safe is
safe." I think) They said that it was the misting of fuel that causes the
problems. So if you fumble and mist it I guess you could be in for a bad time.
