Interesting.
Circuit Basher's reply suggests that it would be illegal unless it was necessary for the flight. In a remote area where no fuel was available, it could be argued that it was necessary, but I think it would be a difficult argument to make if a fuel diversion was possible - so almost certainly illegal.
Dude, yes 10L would make a difference to my aircraft, which burns 15L/hr. I'm well aware of what fuel can do - have used it on barbecues several times (make sure all the fuel has burnt off before putting the food on, unless you like the taste!!!) I have to admit that my first thoughts were that it would be safe, after all the container would be sealed. But I hadn't thought about the integrity after a crash. I wonder what the regulations are regarding the structural integrity of a fuel tank in some of the cheapest home-built aircraft, and how this compares to a fuel can?
It seems that, from the legal side, there is no difference between AvGas and MoGas since they would both be considered dangerous goods. From the safety side, AvGas is less volatile than MoGas, and so probably marginally less unsafe, but still not to be messed with.
Any more thoughts?
