We have an autogas STC for our Cessna 172. Other than building another
"mighty Grape" like Jay Honeck's, what tips are there for fueling? Type
of fuel cans, funnels, bonding, do you bond a plastic can, funnel type,
etc.

I use a pair of 5 gallon red plastic jugs
with the new no-emissions normally sealed
nozzles. The jugs are the short, squat
shape and can be lifted up and emptied into
the tank without too much strain.

I try to use the jugs only to transfer fuel
and never store it longer than 24 hours.


I used to carry 5 gal jugs in the car and then used a pump to transfer
to the plane. However, that was back when I could buy FAA legal mogas.
Today the cans sit in my garage.
