|
I have a buddy that uses a 2-1/2 gal gas can to fill his plane with. Having
to pour gas once every five gals is not bad. (picking up 2-1/2 gals at a
time doesnt require steriod use). I like the idea of using a ladder --
where do you pack it when you are flying? he he he. ted cowan. I am
lucky, I can fuel from the left side so I can rest the can on the left strut
for the back tank and then it half full usually and I can pick it up and
lean it against the leading edge to fill the front tank. Still heavy for a
little guy like myself but what the heck, sacrafices are part of the game.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Has anyone used one of those 5 gal. cans you can get from... I think it's Northern Hydraulics,
that you pump up and it has a small hose and nozzle like a service station pump? I bought one to
use to fuel the top tank of my dearly departed US, as there was little room between the underside
of the wings and the topside of the tank. Never had the chance to use it (a wind storm broke the
tie-down and flipped the US onto its right wing and bent it) but it seems like the answer to the
no-room-to-tilt-and-pour problem or the I-don't-want-to-lift-five-gallons-of-fuel-that-high mindset.
If anyone has used one, do they work out as well as I'd like to think they would?

I use one to fill my PPG, works fine if a little slow.
