Yes the AAIB couldn't work out why she swallowed a fly 

either! It was an exotic brand of fly normally only found 

in N Africa and this was a PA 28 (which sink in 3 mins), 

in the wilds of E Scotland in winter, at night, with both 

crew not wearing lifejackets, so it was a bit hard to 

blame it all on the fly!

 Well just goes to show, The carburettor jet life or 

death.

 I don't know why she swallowed the fly, perhaps she'll 

die.

Hi,

 

I am a happy Polarn pump user. You neglect to say that you can empty a Jerry can into the plane with it more quickly than pouring it direct.

This is also through the filter funnel which you can steady with the left hand along with the tube. The Jerry can stay on the deck so that as it gets near empty you can put your foot on it to keep it stable while you pump the last wee bit.

I have two Jerry cans in the back of the car and I take two ten litre plastic containers with me in the plane so I can go to a garage when I am landing away.

I was not enjoying lifting cans to my side filler and tis sorted it.

 

It was great to see so many Europas at Sywell. 

 

Cheers

Justin

Hi. 

This Polarn Pump.

Will it fit in and work with a 25litre plastic container.

I am guessing that the Polarn pump uses a cap that seals and clips to the

top of the jerry can.



Ron Swinden (sadly no longer with us) made a filling system for 20l steel

cans which works on the same principle.



You need a spare filler cap and an airbed inflating pump. Basically as long

as you can seal the can and pressurise it (doesn't require much pressure) a

hose that reaches to the bottom will empty the can once pressure is applied.

So two connections - one which takes fuel from the bottom of the can and one

which enables you to pressurise the sealed air above the fuel level.



I'm guessing that with a plastic fuel can it would be possible to make a

rubber or plastic bung which seals the top of the container.



You might want to consider this if there is nothing specifically designed

for your cans.

No, you will just have to get Jerry cans.
