For those that think that the Airvan is a piece of cake to fly etc etc, how do you get fuel from the left tank into the right? (without looking at the POH)
With jerry cans?

I thought there were one way valves in the fuel system, and parking on a slope doesn't flow left to right or vice versa. Pretty sure you can't, stand to be corrected though.

You can get the engine to use left or right tanks by rolling the aircraft in the direction that means one of the fuel floats goes up, closes the fuel off for the side you don't want to use while simultaneously dropping the other fuel float and opening that valve. Which way do you roll? All GA drivers would know I'd say...
