Thanks Tracy and all;
for the last couple of days, I've been building a new gas = transport=20 tank to get mogas to the airport. We welded bungs in the side of a 55 = gallon=20 drum, and epoxy'd/screwed a cradle together. It mounts a Fill-Rite = 12 volt=20 transfer pump and 30 ft of hose. I plan to premix my gas/oil at the = filling=20 station, then just pump it into the plane like a one customer fuel = truck! There=20 is still one gas station here that sells ethanol free mogas.
The oil cooler diffuser looks 'pro' in black. With filler and DP90 = primer,=20 it's stiffer, so I had to trim the flanges back a bit to get it to slide = in=20 place. I'm working on edge seals now that all the duct to cooler fits = are 3/8"=20 or less. I'm trying adhesive foam strips from the auto parts = store...
