This question may seem obvious but I'm a bit paranoid . My son and I are taking delivery of our RV-12 tomorrow (first airplane too). Based on what I've read from Vans and this website, I want to use 91 UL, which my airport doesn't sell, so here is my plan for fueling and just wanted to run it by you guys:
Is this a reasonable plan? Is using the filter in this way a good idea or is there something better (wondering if it will keep up with the pump)? Thank you.
- Buy three 5-gallon plastic fuel tanks for my Mazda3 hatchback trunk.
- Fill them with 91 octane at the local Costco (it has ethanol. The only non-ethanol gas around is one station that is not 91)
- Use this pump to get the fuel from tanks to the RV-12 tank: pump
- Pump the gas through this water/dirt filter: Filter
