Thanks Carlos, that's the kind of information I needed. Everything else I've heard was of the "I knew a guy who heard from a guy who..." nature. I think I will go with my original plan of premix, and a calibrated third tank so I can accurately determine how much fuel I'm pumping. -Dana -- OK, I'm weird!

Back in the 80's, I was very fortunate to be able to do a lot of long distance cross country flying in my 447 powered Fire Star. I never considered any other method but pre-mix or mix in the tank. That's all that was available. Each extended trip started out with 3 gals of Pennzoil in 1 quart containers, along with my camping gear and personal gear. Doesn't take long to become very good at estimating fuel burn when flying cross country, using the hour meter and a fuel burn of 3.5 to 3.75 gph. I dumped the oil in the tank first, grabbed a lift strut to roll the FS back and forth to mix the oil and gas, then filled the tank. Never had a fuel/oil mix ratio problem that I could determine in many hours of cross country flying. At home it was a no brainer because I fueled out of 5 gal cans. With this method of fueling and mixing oil I was able to fly in all the States east of the Mississippi and some west of the Mississippi River. We also got into Canada far enough to say we had flown over Canadian soil, but never attempted to land there. john h mkIII - 15F at hauck's holler, alabama ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:39:11 AM PST US From: "Denny Rowe" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Cuyuna oil ratio, injection > john h > mkIII - 15F at hauck's holler, alabama > Crap, Thats what the temp here in western PA is this morning!

Just some Trivia along that routes vicinity. West of Fort Worth Texas in Mineral Wells, my Dad spent 3 years as a German Prisoner of War during WW2. He was captured in Tunisia in a Radio Relay station built into the cliffs by the shore of the Mediterranean by the advancing American forces as they were chasing Rommel and his rat pack. He and his squad where playing cards in a cave in the cliff when they heard the clicks of guns being cocked behind them......guess the Americans did not bother to knock....

Visited the site in 1980 and all that was left is some rubble where the guard towers used to be and a small cemetery where some German Prisoners were buried. Some died as a result of accidents since they actually had to work clearing fields, felling trees etc.....not like inmates now who who get to sit on their butts and watch TV. -------- Ray Kolb UltraStar (Cuyuna UL-202) Moni MotorGlider Schreder HP-11 Glider Riverside County, CA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=155791#155791 ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 01:18:54 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Year End Splash In this Weekend for Seaplanes From: "jb92563" I recognize some Bucaneers and a Coot?

More trivia. Sep 1968, I solo'd a Hughes TH-55 helicopter south of Fort Wolters at a stage field I can no longer remember the name.
