Anyone try it n a Beverley....engines running!!!!
You seem to have had the experience
oldpax. The four big Centauri were classed by us as oil burning, petrol cooled and to cope we carried an 84 gallon overload oil tank in the 'dog kennel' at the rear of the flight deck. At approximately 2 hour intervals, we had to go back and, selecting each engine in turn, hand pump the requisite top-up amount. A couple of hours cruise at 8 - 10000 meant the oil was VERY hard to pump and, aircraft unpressurised and being a heavy smoker did not help, so said one practitioner. Friend even had a similar set up in his Baron (for a round the world speed attempt, which he broke).
