| Subject: | Re: Fuel Transfer Tank. |
You could also consider putting up your own fuel supply tank. I don't
know if you're an an airport (rules) or private field.... but when I
was a kid I used to ride with my Uncle Ernie in his big fuel truck
delivering Phillips 66 gas and diesel to area farmers who all had their
own fuel tanks on their property for tractors etc. I wouldn't be able
to guess how large the tanks were, but they were fairly high and
gravity feed. He'd go out and fill 'em up from his delivery truck and
they'd be set for a while. You could have your own private fuel tank
supply right at the field. I can't imagine a round steel tank of stilts
with a gravity feed hose as being too expensive.

here's what I had in mind:

don't know if you can mount one high enough to gravity fill a wing
tank, but I bet it'd be worth a try

Mike, are you sure you aren't a Zen master? This one goes in the anthology of
"Pietenpol Poetry"!
I'll have to go out and fly some touch-and-go series on those numbers to see if
they are valid for 41CC, but they sound exactly correct, even with differences
in airspeed indicators and all the rest of that scientific clap-trap.
