Johnnybgoode Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Any takers on this load we delivered last night? I'm presently deployed, so the location is not public, but needless to say it was a long way away from my hangar. 2,600+ gallons of 100LL in 55 gallon drums. Sorry it's sideways - one of you smart guys will have to rotate it. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steingar Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Why is the military transporting 100ll? I thought everything they flew burned Jet A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orionflt Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I know what that is for, Not sure where you dropped it but as a retired Navy flight engineer I know its needed and appreciated. Keep up the good work and fly safe brother. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIm20c Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hard to believe I’ll burn through that in a little over 300 hrs. I really need to bike to work to offset my LL usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry 5TJ Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Eh, the Saturn V main stage burned 3,000 gallons per second. (318,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 203,000 gallons of kerosene. Tanks dry in 165 seconds.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck we could have started flying with the Wright Brothers and still not be half way through the fuel. Or You could fly continuously 24/7 for 2.3 years. Better have the relief tube installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
