My MTO Sport will arrive later this month, and I'm planning several cross-country adventures with it.
One issue that comes up a lot is fuel. Most airports will not carry Mogas, and Avgas is not recommended for continuous usage in the 914. I'd prefer to not use it at all.
So one possible solution I'm thinking about is to carry collapsible jerry cans with me, like this one:
That one holds over 5 gallons of fuel and looks like it would be easily stowable. I would probably try and carry 3 of them. Then at the airport, a quick trip in a courtesy car or short cab ride and I'm good to go.
Have any of you cross-country guys (CKurz, et al) done anything like this?
Opinions?
