FAA puts a limit of 5 gal gas on ultralights ...sorry, wandering off topic I
guess ....They don't really have any regs wrt what is in your "carry on
luggage", and if I'm going anywhere beyond the patch in my UL, I bring
another hour's worth of fuel (2.5gal) as part of my carry on. :) Since

talkin "outback" type flying, it's kind of fun to *have to* find something
good enf to call a runway where you can stop to transfer fuel. My point is
that you don't necessarily have to plumb it in, just carry it along. Funny

I rather liked the idea of an extra plastic can plumbed into the system. I
had never really considered that, but I don't know that I would need all
that extra fuel. However I do carry an empty can in the back so that I can
at least get some gas back to the plane. In some of the more remote areas
petrol is available, but if you want avgas you have to buy it in a drum of
44 gallons. That's not ideal when you want only 10 gallons!.


One of the more interesting aspects of outback flying here is that you can
just land on the road and taxy up to a roadhouse and fill your plane from
the petrol bowser. That makes life easier!


thanks again
