In-flight refueling auxiliary tank

[gregstertheflyer]

Hi,
In response to Fred's request for information on my in-flight refueling auxiliary tank, I've posted some pictures in my album, Greg's Odyssey, for anyone who might lilke to try this at home.
 I used a 20 litre container which I got from the shop where I work.  I use a 12 volt electric fuel pump to transfer the fuel.  This pump does not need to be primed.  I drilled the cap and installed the pick-up hose through this hole and weighted the end with two large nuts. 
 
 I also found a duck-bill air vent on a gas cap for a chainsaw and installed it in the cap, like a rubber grommet.  This vent allows the air to go in when pumping and does not allow the fuel to splash out and doesn't have to be opened manually. I used it several times and it works really well.

Thanks Greg
I plan to make a similar set up for my JT2 for longer trips.
Its very clever and simple.

P.S. Do you have your HKS installed yet? Then maybe you won't need the extra gas.
