fuel

https://airfactsjournal.com/2022/10/the-20-hour-cessna-172-experiment-update/ I found this article particularly fascinating. They found a way to address the leaded gas issue. Plus reduced operating costs, emissions and noise. You get one guess what the roadblock is.

I’ve owned a Cessna 205 for 4 years now, with Monarch Caps installed and never saw a drop of water in the fuel. But since 3 weeks ago it doesn’t matter if it rains or not, every morning after the first flight, a significant amount of water drains out of the left tank. I’ve replaced my Caps...

Hi! I currently own a Cessna 205 with Monarch tank caps installed on it. Water has been appearing in my left tank right after I land this past 2 weeks. Always after I fly, never in the morning. I’ve had this plane for a couple years now, and I’ve never seen water before. But lately water shows...

A pilot friend of ours told us about airboss for fuel savings. However unless I sign up I’m unable to see where or how much of a discount is actually offered by this program. Has anyone used this program and if so, is it worth it?

I was recently appointed to our local airport authority board. The airport is going through a lot of changes, most notably going from a private FBO to county-operated. I have been assigned the task of developing a policy surrounding extending credit for fuel purchases. I am a relatively new...

Some airports have cheap gas and nothing else. Some have expensive gas and awesome amenities. What are your experiences with the price of fuel versus the "niceness" of a particular airport?

Is there an app to calculate fuel/distance/cost for this? For the distance, how long would it take a new pilot to fly? Is this what would be referred to as cross country flying? This would be flown in a Cessna 172. Thank you!

On the last flight in the Bellanca we experienced a sudden power loss with the IO-470. Switching tanks did not solve the problem, however turning the boost pump on high brought the engine back to life. Validated this same condition on a couple more occasions. Of course the engine driven pump...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on Pilots of America. I have a question that I always have had stuck in my head for a while and hopefully someone here can give me a detailed explanation. I would really appreciate it. Suppose that you are departing from P03. P03 sits at an elevation of...
