at first i wanted to get the dubro can mounted fueling staion, then i bought a bottle then im like hmm maybe ill get both. right now im borrowing a freinds hobbico hand crank pump that works plenty good for my needs. but the one drawback is i have to hold the pump over the can or bottle. so i came up with this and put some scrap from our job to good use. i like things beefy. this is 1 1/8 t&g fir. 3" screws and subfloor glue. im going to work in some metal welding fab to. pump will be mounted solid so just crank the crank and go. there will be a radio holder on the back and misc tools. the front will hold 2 gallons of fuel and starter along with some shelves for misc tools. jeeeeeeees i must be board its just fueling station.  |

How'd you get it to run on diesel fuel.
My 50 drinks a lot of fuel.
Though I've been thinking about the 700 kit and slow build a Gasser out of it.

I'm picturing some kinda bolt on clamp to solid mount the pump to the top handle. Got me thinking now

It was costing me too much money and I have no dreams of competing in the 3D masters.... So no need for the power. Gas has it's own set of issues, but for how I fly, it was a good change. |
