I don't think it's desperation over the demise of 100 LL, most Huskys, 180 hp Huskys will run just fine on mogas premium (without the crap alcohol).

That said, this example is the 200 hp Husky so needs the higher octane fuel..

I have no idea what Stu was thinking on this, but compressed natural gas (CNG) is basically a non-starter for most of what Huskys are purchased for. The CNG system adds over 135 lb and only gives the gasoline equivalent of 9 gallons of fuel. but that 135 lbs, plus whatever the gas weighs, comes right off the useful load. The extra weight will also serve to detract from the dogs short field and bush flying prowess.

And finally, the CNG tank slung under the belly is composite. Given that composite tanks don't handle impacts well, I cannot imagine having a worse thing along for the ride in an off-field forced landing or accident. 3,600 psi of CNG in a composite tank? If it goes, so will anything nearby . . . no need for an ignition source.

IMO, a really dumb idea . . . at least in this example.
