If you have input/advice about safety while fueling my new RV12 with auto gas from plastic gas cans with a hand pump I'd like to get that from you.
I have 7.5 gallon Flo Fast plastic cans and a hand cranked pump. It has a ground wire attached which I will use. I know about placing the cans on the ground while filling them and pumping from them. I discovered teflon tape in one of the Flo Fast pump fittings and I have removed that.....I guess they didn't know about the problems with that.
Also if you have input about the purity of gas taken from major oil company gas stations like Chevron or Shell please tell me what you know: did you ever get dirt or ?? when filling a gerry can from them? Is it necessary to use a Mr. Funnel filter when using their gas?
Here in Goneafornia we can only get 91 octane gas with 10% (advertised) auto gas. Ugh.http://www.vansairforce.com/community/images/smilies/confused.gif
I am thinking about using 100LL at least a major percentage of the time with Decolin. What is your input about that?
I think I will have my new S-LSA from Vans about 1 June. It will replace my V35A Bonanza that has been our main bird for 29 years! Looking forward to being back in the air.http://www.vansairforce.com/community/images/smilies/smile.gif
