Catching fuel from gascolator drain

Thanks for all the great ideas! After seeing what people were doing, I realized it was beyond my technical abilities. Fortunately, I knew a professional builder with several years experience so I gave him my specification and he built a stand for me to place under the gascolstor drain. Tried it out today and didn’t spill a drop!
In the end it was pretty expensive, but apparently he just started taking flying lessons and that’s expensive too, so at least it’s for a good cause.00DF3E8E-385F-4408-AB39-D61D7D16C2D3.thumb.jpeg.aa30dfe3e5432580f4b000d813c22c83.jpeg

A future aerospace engineer and pilot if I ever saw one!

Early stages of a long body pilot...

It all starts building airplanes out of legos... and grows from there.

Practical devices built out of legos... that’s an engineer or mechanic in the early stages... :)

There are a few MSers that have a collection of these skills... pilot, mechanic and/or engineer, and Mooney owner...

Best regards,
