Georgia or Spook, I haven't visited on the line for awhile. But I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and your questions. When you are not around flying and people that fly alot it is hard to understand some basic things. My Ercoupe sets outside under a covered hanger. I try to keep my tanks full even if I am not flying often. When the tanks are full you do not have the condensation that you would have if they are empty.
To get the water out most of the time when you sump the tanks before you fly you can get all the water out at that time. Just keep sumping the tanks until you just get out gas without water. Keep asking questions and taking ground school everything will fall into place. I wish that I live nearer to you and we could do some arm chair flying. That is a fun way to learn and pick up alot of this type of information. Just hang in there, Marilyn Cantrell, N93694 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, February 10, 2000 8:10 PM Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Fuel question >Hello, > >I hope these questions aren't too basic, but I am in the early stages of >learning about coupes and flying. > >1.
