If by chance some bonehead would pull the pin and move the switch the whole process would have to be repeated and the fuel in the tank would just be mixed back with the JP-8 and called 8. We wound not take any chance of the SR-71's getting the wrong gas, lost lives and aircraft would be the result. Van
