Leslie, I have used mogas for about 20 years, in the Cessnas and in the Ercoupe. For the coupe, I have four red plastic five gallon gas cans that I dedicate exclusively to Ercoupe use ( no lawnmower or extra 4x4 gas). While I do not disagree with the comments on static and with the precautions taken, I don't go to nearly the extent they do. I haven't blown myself up <YET>. I do like the idea of the transfer pump with an extra filter- good idea. When I fill the cans, I put the empty can on the ground and fill it. When I pour it into the Ercoupe, I put the plastic nozzle against the edge of the filler neck and go ahead and pour. I do not do any extra filtering, but I do visually inspect the cans before I put them in the 'coupe. I buy gas at one station only (Flying J-- no alcohol gas, and a huge volume to ensure fresh clean fuel (I hope)). I check my fuel at the petcocks and have never found any water or contaminents. It is EZ to fuel the Ercoupe with "carry your own" gas, due to the low wing. And, it makes flying like driving the car-- I just get in the 'coupe and go, and don't worry about the cost. On the Cessna, it is not so easy. I generally only use mogas in the Cessna when it is available at the pump at the various FBO's in our part of the country. I have used gas cans for it in the past but it's a pain. :-) John Barsness ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
