Greetings,
Actually, I'm asking about
a pump to transfer fuel from my new truck's 34 gallon tank, to the plane.
Being able to measure the amount of fuel transferred would be a real
bonus. Someone told me that Wick's had one, but I never could find it
online. Anyone know of such a pump? I'm sure I can cobble something
together, but if there's one already made to do this, I would probably go that
route. Being able to run 87 octane is going to be one of the benefits of
getting rid of the turbo.
On another fuel note, I was
complaining earlier about my 2-stroke oil separating from the fuel, but I think
I was mistaken. After 4 months, my oil was still very well mixed in the
plane, so I think the problem was that I didn't get the oil mixed in the first
place before. I had added the full tank's worth of oil when it was
basically empty. I figured that filling the tank, and taxiing back to the
hanger would mix it, but I guess it didn't. I now believe that mixing it
well the first time is the key.
Cheers,
Rusty (filling that 34
gallon tank will be painful)
