Honest question, hopefully not too ridiculous:
With a plane and engine like you were flying, if you were getting low on fuel and flying over a highway with little traffic, could you have successfully refueled at a roadside reststop?
- nitrogen 7y agoDo planes like that still require leaded gasoline?
- Scoundreller 7y agoNot OP, but my guess is that their fuel requirements are different than automotive gasoline. Doesn't mean it won't work, but might not work as expected...
- kbaker 7y agoIn this video from Alaska they land at a roadside gas station and refuel in a fuel emergency. In an in-flight emergency you can deviate from any rule... still poor planning by the pilot. https://youtu.be/oE8edtEa46o?t=251 https://youtu.be/oE8edtEa46o?t=251 Many small piston engines are certified to use mogas (standard automobile gasoline) as well as 100LL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas#Automotive_gasoline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas#Automotive_gasoline
