The accident information from the web page below verifies that one should always sump the tanks after refueling. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20021206X05573&key=1 NTSB Identification: NYC03LA028 Accident occurred Wednesday, December 04, 2002 at Dalton, MA Aircraft:Ercoupe 415-CD, registration: C-FXJK Injuries: 1 Uninjured. -------------- Examination of the wreckage revealed that the fluid inside the gascolator had frozen. The FAA inspector added that although the pilot added 5 gallons of 100LL at GFL, he originally departed Canada with automobile gasoline. The reported temperature at an airport approximately 5 miles west of the accident site, at 1254, was 22 degrees F. ----------------- My question is,,, does Canadian automobile gasoline normally freeze,,, or is the examiner just trying to blow some smoke.- Andy ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
