Shame on you are you ACTUALLY advocating theft of company funds. I think
this needs reporting to Keith in fact the world..! Neville Eyre runs his
model aircraft engines on Europa petrol (gasoline) everyone...
Just to add to what Nev said Demon Tweeks also sell 5ltr plastic cans
used by motor racing teams, which are excellent, I have 4 of them , they
are always clean and easy to keep that way. I also use a small electric
pump that fits into either a jerry can or my plastic cans. I can get
more of these pumps at about 30 each if anyone is interested. They
really are perfect for the job. I discovered them many years ago during
my previous life as a "Kart racer"

Hi All,
Getting down to the fine print in U.K.Law, it is actually illegal to
carry more than 6 gallons in a car. The limit is 6 G, [2 of 2 Gallon
plastic containers, and 2 of 1 Gallon metal cans] No idea where this
rule came from, I went through this with the Fire Brigade years ago when
I was transporting vast amounts of fuel for a water ski club. Old jerry
cans will have the red lead paint lining coming off [ but you should be
filtering that out in the funnel anyway ?]Demon Tweeks do a stainless
steel version. In my opinion, the plastic, 5 litre [ 1 Gallon]
containers are best. no flakes of paint or rust, and there is less
chance of banging the fuselage when filling. [ A bonus for those of you
with company cars, keep a couple in the boot [ trunk], and every time
you put fuel in the car, sneak a bit into a can ?] Cheers, Nev.

20 Litre Steel cans are definitely the best IHMO. Cost should be about
15- 20 each. Make sure you purchase New cans not second hand. Depending
on your fuel tank size 4 cans will be more than enough. In fact I rarely
use more than 40 litres on a trip (3 hrs flying time).
You may need to be careful filling up. It is technically illegal to fill
more than one can at a time at a filling station (health and safety
issues), but most turn a blind eye. If you park your car so that the
safety cameras cant see the back of your car, they are unlikely to
notice anyway.
Dont try to fill 4 cans and your car tank. Most petrol station systems
in the UK are set to shut down after 80 litres (sometimes 100).

can anyone suggest a UK source for the Mr. Funnel F15C, or do I just

clean fuel from a petrol station to the airfield is 6 or 7 10 litre
plastic cans. Seems a bit long winded? Any better alternatives?
