Fuelling a very leaky Greek F-4 Phantom [4K]

➤ SUBSCRIBE - bit.ly/1P0BLcw
As you can see in the video, whilst refuelling this F-4 on the apron a fair amount of fuel was leaking from the port wing fuel dumper. I got the sense like the ground crew were used to seeing this, but I wonder if any former F-4 folks are able to comment below?

Man it's great to see those Phantoms.

[@magoid]

Those F-4Es are 15 to 20 years younger than USAF's B-52Hs. You can only imagine how temperamental the BUFFs are nowadays.

[@blakena4907]

I don't even wanna know.

[@Squid2650]

That is the Fuel dump and overpressure valve for the wing tanks, the T shaped stick behind the rudder is the pressure valve for the internal tanks, and it looks like they simply didn't switch tanks on the F-4. Still had it been hydraulic fluid, then the old adage comes to mind, if it ain't leaking it's empty!

I'm just hoping that was a problem that can be remedied easily. I hate seeing Phantoms looking sickly. We don't have too many of them that can fly left. Please take care of them.

[@lazerhawk1762]

Easily solved by changing the wing tank. It's the tank's fault (valve)

@@lazerhawk1762 Good Stuff!

[@Baseloiter]

This is great

[@UKAviationMovies]

Cheers bud 👍

[@v6si]

I don't think that's a leak. For some reaon the fuel dump valve must be open because that looks a lot like a fuel dump nozzle to me. Maybe they did that on purpose for some reason but I'm guessing it was likely just stuck open?

[@UKAviationMovies]

The ground crew were up in the cockpit at one point trying to sort something out so maybe it was that?

I see RC-Pro making a guest appearance at 0:20 lol

[@UKAviationMovies]

😂😂 indeed :)

[@magoid]

Who else thought he added a truck-starting sound effect in the beginning of the video?

[@UKAviationMovies]

Ha ha. I even thought that myself when I was editing! I absolutely promise it's not a truck sound effect 🤣

[@yogolee69]

Imagine throwing a cig in the puddle of fuel

[@HarryBalsark]

Yea the cig would just be extinguished

[@Manaritzis88]

Nothing absolutely nothing would happen

[@jorgepeters7474]

Oops, thats no good.

[@jorgepeters7474]
