Scott,
Thought about doing this myself because I'm
tired of hauling gas in gas cans. But I've been told its against the law
(federal law) to haul mogas this way. Anyone have any further info on
this?

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

Hi Scott,
I replied to Kevin's comment on the ridge vent material.
It is very different from what you or Kevin are talking about. See
comments on reply to Kevin.

For filler, I can offer that I've been in the shop working on my oil
cooler diffuser, sanding, smoothing in microlight, sanding,
painting. You all know the drill. It's hard to spread filler smoothly on the
inside of the duct where there isn't really any room for my hand, let alone a
spreader, or later a sanding block!
I've had good test runs since I bit the bullet and committed my time to
making quality scoop and diffuser assemblies. I just hope they work as well
when I continue to test @ higher power setting, and eventually fly it!
Tracy; when you refered to 'roof ridge material' as applied to the inside
of the cooler diffuser? did you mean the aluminum sheet with
small louvers? When I blow sanding dust out thru the cooler and duct in
assembly, using compressed air, most of the dust seems to pass out the aft end
of the cooler. I know microlite filler dust is heavier than air, but I think
it would be a fair representation of airflow when propelled with the air
nozzle. So I'm taking what I understand you to have said, and may try to
slow down the air at the back so the air flow will be more evenly distributed
thru the oil cooler.
I made a more pronounced ramp in the radiator duct after reading about it
in this forum, but I had already made the oil cooler diffuser. I might yet
carve out the back and build in that ramp!! but for now I would like to know
what that material is???

When I go to
the newsgroup list it hasn't updated in two days now; so don't know if the
