Hi guys!
I know "Jerry Cans" is going to be an "explosive" thread......
Still I would like to know how you treat the issue.
In my place, I can use them as long as there are no pax on board, if it is "cargo" and then I have to deal with all the "Hazardous Mat" issues.
On the other hand "...if the fuel carried in the portable containers" is essential for the operation of the aircraft, then there is no restrictions (not even with pax)!!
I assume getting back from the middle of nowhere is "essential for the operation of the aircraft"!!
However travelling into neighboring countries becomes rather difficult if your legs are getting rather stretched, but local authorities insist in "certified portable fuel containers" (Nevermind that they are unable to point you to somewhere to get them....)
Does anyone of you know of any "Certified Jerry cans"?
Aviation or DOT or any meaningful certification?
I know ALL buyable cans have some kind of certification print-molded right into the cans, but I need something better than the 15.- bucks plastic available at Walmart!!
Any ideas?
Thanks for any directions!
