ParkesFlyer Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Wouldn't be a use of AVGAS related issue would it? Hey Jake, No, its a starter motor thing. I am interested though, in the "Avgas vs Mogas in the Rotax" question, what's your experience? Do you ever find Mogas at an AD? PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkesFlyer Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks Dexter, We're looking at getting a new aircraft at the Parkes club and are wondering about if it'd be worth trying to arrange a Mogas supply at the AD. Have you been to mant aerodromes that actually have mogas? PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkesFlyer Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hey Jake, It sounds like hard work! I wonder if there is a greater chance of getting water in your fuel using the jerry can? I'm wondering about condensate while the can is empty... I guess that won't be a problem if you keep the can full all the time? PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Also I should add today I learnt that filling the tanks via jerry can is bloody inconvenient and difficult!! Easy, go on to Ebay, Search Hand Rotary Pump, there's one there Buy It Now for $80.00 Bid $20.00 and see what happens. Then buy the club fuel in 200 litre drums and use the last 20 L in your cars. If there's a problem getting the drum close to the aircraft, get someone to mig weld a 4 wheel trolley with 4.00x8 tyres. Not too expensive if everyone puts something in.
