Does anyone have any idea how much fuel weighs, or more importand how
much fuel can you shove into a CF.
Our group recently purchesed a Fiat Folkker (affectionatly known
currently as 'The Toad') for a mission into Amazonia, even after
shoving on 2 pairs of external fuel tanks, increasing the tank
capacity by the 25% etc, we where shocked to say the least that we
would still have to make 3 fuel stops while traveling from Seattle to
Amazonia, and in all likelyhood would still not have enough fuel to
enter the jungle, land, complete mission, and manage to get back to
the last fuel stop. Hence we placed in (ad hoc) long flight tanks
holding 25l costing 1 CF. Are there any rules (home made or
otherwise) about longrange fuel tanks etc?
