Chantry Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 What is this "turn signal" you speak of? It's not something those of us in the Northeast are familiar with....
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Must've had to take leak....and replenish his coffee. GG ~

Sedalia Dave Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Another plane stopping for fuel at the same location. This time from the pilots view point.

twelve mile REB Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 In Alaska Aircraft have the right of way on public hi ways. There is lots of signage to remind the out of towners of that fact.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 In Alaska, not unusual at all. Kinda "Normal."
Eyesa Horg Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 That's just way too cool!! "Honey, I'm going to take the plane down to the store for milk" !

Eyesa Horg Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Since they had hoses long enough to reach and it appears to be a common plane stop, I'm thinkin' they've got AV gas.

Eyesa Horg Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Wow, you'd think they'd at least use premium. I would be worried about water in the fuel. It's really hard to pull over up there if things go wonky.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 13 hours ago, Ramblin Gambler said: There isn't an additive to make it usable? No, it’s a separate tightly controlled refining process. Avgas is 100 Octane LL (low lead). Some engines can be converted to run on 87 octane auto gas, but don’t develop the power of the others.
Sedalia Dave Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 AvGas typically goes through a fuel water separator before going into your tank. A few aircraft manufacturers have certified their engines to operate on 87 octane unleaded auto fuel as long as it does not contain ethanol. Special additives are added to the oil and sometimes the fuel.
