Hi all,
Looking for a solution which must have been done before.
As I (..and the impatient boss) are spending too much time at airports refueling.
We are thinking of ordered a 140 liter fuel-bladder from turtlepac.
And getting a small fuel transfer pump/unit to get the fuel from the booth into the tank.
(this would be a on-the-ground solution, I don't need an in-flight solution)
Google brought up some info, but not a complete & neat solution. A small box with pump and battery,
one line to the bladder, one 4 meter line with a fuel pistol, doesn't seem to exist. Or I can't find it.
Maybe you have a useful tip, or can share a picture of a possible solution.
Also I was wondering how full can you pump the bladder, if you don't have access to pressure refuelling.
A few things I found on the web:

All idea's and tips, highly appreciated! :ok:
