    Tech. Sgt. Jeffrey Skaggs, 168th Fuel System Maintenance shop fuel system mechanic, puts on an oxygen mask before climbing into the fuel tank. Fuel system mechanics take turns working, for an hour or more at a time, because the environment requires focus and concentration. “You’ve got to hunt,” said Tech. Sgt. John Phoenix, 168th Fuel System Maintenance shop fuel system mechanic. “You can’t follow a wire down the line to find a problem. It takes a lot to be in there and crawl around and eyeball it when finding a leak.” This can be especially difficult when working with your arms scrunched in front of your face. “It looks kind of like a T-Rex when you’re working up there,” Phoenix said.
