    Auxiliary fuel tank (temporary installation)

    in Jabiru

    Posted

    Hi All

     

    There's some interesting information in this forum - thanks for your replies. I'm in the early stages of planning to fly from NZ to Australia via Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island. The TurtlePac sounds like a viable but expensive option, but even so, I'm still not convinced I want to risk this flight. If I were to go for the TurtlePac option I'd get a LAME to fit it and make it "legal".

     

    Cheers - Alan

     

     

    Auxiliary fuel tank (temporary installation)

    Posted

    Hello

     

    Does anyone have any experience of installing a temporary auxiliary fuel tank to a Jabiru? I have a Jab J400 with a capacity of around 125 litres (wet wing). I'd like to extend the capacity by 20 litres or so for a journey over water. I can see how I can secure a jerry can in the cockpit. However, I'm not sure how best to safely plumb in a feed from the jerry can. Anyone have any ideas?

     

    Thanks

     

    Alan
