fuel

Hey everyone! This is my first post, I am considering buying a Grumman AA5 or an AA1 to time build in with a friend. Does anyone know if these aircraft with their standard Lycoming O-320-E2G (AA5) and Lycoming O-235-C2C (AA1) are able to use unleaded fuel? Is there a way I can check to see if...

https://airfactsjournal.com/2022/10/the-20-hour-cessna-172-experiment-update/ I found this article particularly fascinating. They found a way to address the leaded gas issue. Plus reduced operating costs, emissions and noise. You get one guess what the roadblock is.

I’ve owned a Cessna 205 for 4 years now, with Monarch Caps installed and never saw a drop of water in the fuel. But since 3 weeks ago it doesn’t matter if it rains or not, every morning after the first flight, a significant amount of water drains out of the left tank. I’ve replaced my Caps...

Hi! I currently own a Cessna 205 with Monarch tank caps installed on it. Water has been appearing in my left tank right after I land this past 2 weeks. Always after I fly, never in the morning. I’ve had this plane for a couple years now, and I’ve never seen water before. But lately water shows...

A pilot friend of ours told us about airboss for fuel savings. However unless I sign up I’m unable to see where or how much of a discount is actually offered by this program. Has anyone used this program and if so, is it worth it?

I was recently appointed to our local airport authority board. The airport is going through a lot of changes, most notably going from a private FBO to county-operated. I have been assigned the task of developing a policy surrounding extending credit for fuel purchases. I am a relatively new...

Well, the Grumman has gone east (literally) and I'm renting until I can figure out my next step. I've found a 1969 Cherokee 6 300 to rent and can't find the answer to a fuel question. I've looked in the airplane manual and the archives and no joy. The inboard fuel tanks have tabs. How much fuel...

Some airports have cheap gas and nothing else. Some have expensive gas and awesome amenities. What are your experiences with the price of fuel versus the "niceness" of a particular airport?

Is there an app to calculate fuel/distance/cost for this? For the distance, how long would it take a new pilot to fly? Is this what would be referred to as cross country flying? This would be flown in a Cessna 172. Thank you!

On the last flight in the Bellanca we experienced a sudden power loss with the IO-470. Switching tanks did not solve the problem, however turning the boost pump on high brought the engine back to life. Validated this same condition on a couple more occasions. Of course the engine driven pump...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on Pilots of America. I have a question that I always have had stuck in my head for a while and hopefully someone here can give me a detailed explanation. I would really appreciate it. Suppose that you are departing from P03. P03 sits at an elevation of...
