I came up with a simple fix to fuel my mkiii. I made an extension to fit
my gas can nozzle. With the 5 gal gas can on the ground the extension
will go to the bottom of my 16 gal alum tank. I lift the fuel can to my
shoulder, grab an exposed alum hinge to eliminate static.

A friend of mine who owned a Pitts S-1 was fueling it from a 5 gal can
as I walked past his hanger. This was many years ago. I was amazed at
how simple his fueling system was.
His fueling system consisted of a plastic 5 gal can and 6 feet of 3/4"
ID plastic tubing. The tubing was pushed on to the nozzle of the can.
Stick the tube in the fuel tank, lift the can higher than the nozzle and
you are home free. On long cross countries I always carried that tube.
Now days I carry an Alabama Credit Card which uses the little shaker
valve to start siphoning fuel from the gas can. I usually sit the can
on a folding ladder, if available, or on top of the engine if all else
fails.
Since I have gotten older, I usually don't try to save money fueling
from 5 gal cans. Lots easier to fill from the 100LL pump.
Experimenters come up with unique ideas to accomplish what they need to
get done.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really
is amazing.

Boyd's message popped up right after I hit the send button on my fuel
fill system. ;-)
Great minds think nearly alike. ;-)
