Thought I found a fuel leak at gate B12 in Dallas, turned out to be a spilled Coke
Last Tuesday I was doing a quick turn on a 737 at DFW and smelled jet fuel near the right wing, so I pulled the panel and spent 40 minutes checking every line and fitting. Turns out a ramper had dropped a cup of soda on the tarmac earlier and the sticky mess was tricking my nose into thinking it was fuel. Has anyone else chased a phantom leak that turned out to be something stupid like that?

Wait, a spilled Coke actually smells like jet fuel to you? That's wild.
