Reminds me of the time we used to under sling air portable fuel containers (APFCs, commonly known as “bollocks”, because that’s what they resembled) in Belize, to set up a forward refuelling point. By the time we’d got them there, we had to refuel from them to get home...
ST, if you watched the complete video it showed a significant performance increase with the ROR installed.
