This sump jar is designed to drain the sump without having fuel blow out under high wind conditions.
We often had high winds in the Gulf of Mexico.
I designed this drain to leave very little space between the jar and the belly of the aircraft. It is a 16 ounce jar to collect a large sample without letting the wind blow the fuel around before collection.
