I have reached out to the manufacturer for clarification. Doesn't make any sense to say "DOT Certified for Gasoline" if it's not transportable. The DOT doesn't care what you store your gas in on your own property, only if it's on their highway system.

Yes but you can mix it with 100LL without issue. Since I'm at my home airport at least 50% of the time (more like 75 in reality) it saves a ton of money to save $2+ per gallon every fillup at home. I just buy avgas when away from home.

I'm fairly certain that the hazmat limitations do not apply for fuel hauled for personal use. DOT applies to commercial use.

Since I can burn Mogas in my IO-470K I'm trying to find the best way to transport it back and forth to the plane. At the moment I'm stuck between getting a permanent mount tank for the back of the truck or building a little fuel trailer. The truck tank is definitely easier, but my truck is a...

Well that's something I'd never even thought to be scared of

Hell I'm tempted to make to 30 hour flight for that 2.67 in the top left corner!

Agreed, I actively avoid them and I wouldn't if they had more reasonable fuel prices. I'll happily go 40 miles out of my way to avoid the FBO's charging 3 dollars a gall It's uncontrolled if you turn your radios off :D

Thanks, can you elaborate? do you mean a field approval?

It's all about finding the tools that are not junk , that's half the fun! Still a big fan of the HF but don't get the old rush going in. Probably because I already own most of the things in there worth having :D

I know the feeling. In several aspects of life. Most notable to me is Harbor Freight. Man, I used to love going in there to just look around and plan what I wanted to buy next. Now every time I'm in there I just think "nope I don't really need that".

If I'm in a reasonable sized city I'll just uber to the closest rental car place rather than use on airport rentals. That being said last time I tried that there were literally no cars for rent at any of the available spots. 2 days before. Blew my mind, different world in the rental business...

To be fair they are all this way, Garmin, Dynon, Etc certified always costs way more even though it's the same part. Makes sense because there's a lot of testing and R&D involved in the approval process for certified parts. that being said If I can avoid giving a few more dollars to Garmin by...

Anybody have any insight into why the larger FBOs with higher volume sales end up with the highest prices? Just to cover their fancy FBOs and because they can?

Thats why I suggested it ;) Will they take the POA link that then contains the link?

That tracks. FB blows anyway :D

Awesome, now we just need to get the list populated. Could post it on the "fun places to fly your airplane" FB page and get a lot of responses if you wanted to.

I have wondered the same thing. For half the cost for the exact same part number it's hard to swallow. How is the STC handled, is it connected to a serial number or is it a blanket STC?

Added my local one. Start a new thread and get more input!

Eh I dunno about that one. I've helped change plenty of tires as well but if there's a grown ass man on the side of the road with a flat he's on his own :D
