You need a few of these long range tanks to go with the Monroy.  I think they are STC - only $159.99 each at aircraft spruce. ($79.99 for experimental)

 

 

I would recommend the metal bottle to avoid cracking and spilling of the plastic bottle on descent. Or pilot relief tube.

It is good that it is labelled.

Lets not het back with this issue. Can we just move on. His knowledge on monroy tanks and mooneys are valuable to this website. Id prefer him to stick around here, and im sure other people agree with that.

FL270???

Is that not a little high for the type?

The 252 was certified to FL280.

Soooo...I "filled" one of these once and set it next to a fresh one that had not been opened yet...Later when I got thirsty, the unthinkable happened.  I consider the experience advanced level survival training. :-)

To prevent exposure to this type of advanced survival training, you should travel with red or blue beverages so you can easily distinguish the incorrect one. Or treat your enlarged prostate to reduce yiur need for empty containers in flight . . . . Doc and I are monitoring mine, but I don't have a problem with 4 hour flights. Yet.

I thought his climb was interesting. He initially leveled off at 15K then after a while climbed to 17K, and finally up to FL230. I guess that could be because of weight? 

 

I don't follow, how does weight impact his climb pattern?  Level off to cool the engine momentarily?

Most likely ATC gave him the altitudes.
