| Subject: | Re: Collapsible tank |
Good suggestions. My preference would be for a 5 gal tank so that I could mix
& pour the exact amount I need to top the tank (without spending half a day at
the pump), but I don't think one would fit through the cross bars behind the
seats. The one gallon "mixer" tank could work as long as you can accurately guess
how much fuel will be going into the wing tank.
If you did a lot of trips, I suppose the best option would be to reinstall the
oil injector system.
thanks for the input,
Ryan

I finally installed an oil injection system last winter. It makes fueling much
less hassle.

When I had my other plane a number of years back I just purchased a 6 gal. gasoline
rated bladder tank. Hooked up a fuel pump to it and when I was flying and
my fuel in the mains got low enough I just hit the switch and transfered the
6 gals. to my main tanks. Then I had it on the fuel gauge.

Granted this would require an additional person for fueling, or a strategically
placed mirror, but you could mark the tank so you know when it is 1 gallon short
of being full. Fill to this mark and then add the mixture from the one gallon
tank. If you have two wing tanks you are obviously gonna have to figure
out the most time efficient way to do both. Maybe mix a gallon batch, put it
in a tank, top off that tank and the next one to the 1 gallon mark, fill the mixer
again and then you are done with the pump. Just spit balling here. If you
can add an oil injector I would go that route. Mine holds enough for a flight
out, a refueling, and the flight back. You are obviously already carrying
oil with you which you can still carry in case you need more then two bags of
gas for your cross country.
