Here's a theoretical situation which I've been discussing with some friends:
I'm going to fly to a reasonably distant field. Getting there and back on one tank of fuel is cutting it a little fine, I really need to refuel somewhere. The field I'm going to doesn't have any fuel - maybe it's a private farm-strip, or I'm there after hours or something.
Rather than make an en-route fuel stop, I decide to take some extra fuel with me. I take with 2x5-litre fuel cans - plastic cans, designed for carrying fuel, appropriately labelled and properly sealed. When I get to my destination, I pour these into the fuel tank, which gives me enough endurance to get home safely.
What do people think about carrying fuel in the luggage compartment like this?
- Is it legal?
- Is it safe?
- Would the answer to either of these depend on whether it was MoGas or AvGas?
