Fuel info

Ross.............ej25.......active valve. ( but don"t you have no oxy sensor in your setup

[Mark Horan]

Im not sure, but isnt there a bit of a problem with using avgas in a subie because of the lead affecting the O2 sensor? Ive never been game to try it just in case the computer chucks a wobbly because it thinks there is a problem with the fuel mixture.I would love a reply because it would be nice to be able to run on avgas and not have to rely on a ground crew.

Hey webby................tinkin here...........how about transferring this whole thread into the 2010 Nats thread

[Russell]

Yea adrian..........that"s the intended. Couple of stop points have bitumen strips, right at front door.All i need to do now is ring the fuel carter co, and tell them how much to drop off at each point. ....( drums only )The 2 guys that cart way out that way, were only to pleased to help out, even came up with alternative ideas, etc etc...........Next prob.........sort a light / compact drum pump.........let"s seeQuery...........if the battery shytes itself.......flat.........can you hand start a CFI engine ???.......this is my only weak link, they give no notice if they guna cack it....( shudup russy........think positive.........no probs guna occur ) ;DHey Davo.........mentioned to one guy over that way, that i sorta knew you, and you might be passin over too at some time.........all went silent, the only noise i then heard was him cockin his 12 guage............got me buggered. Heard on the vine.........another staging point is based at broken hill, then headin over...........good stuff

[Adrian S]

Russ,Looks like you got it sorted. I presume you are coming over via the "Darwin H"way"

[asra]

I think he went across the nulabor way........ ???The gyro didn"t know

[Russell]

I think he went across the nulabor way........ ???

[Russell]

Today has been a good day............have sourced me fuels/ stopovers for the WA legs, the easy bit is the Qld bit.Last 2 days ringin around has payed off big time. The legs are all easily managable.........longest leg 4.5hrs max And finding spots to drop into for a pee etc shouldn"t be a prob either...........bleedin long road/ track, goes east / west, be real handy.No need

[asra]

This sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Reckon I might make an effort to go, just a few things to do first like get my licence and debating whether to trust a 2 banger rotax to cross a continent LOL.Could even coax the missus to be ground crew if I get her a good enough chrissy present. (Now I"m really dreaming)I reckon Ian Morecombe did the west to east crossing abput a dozen years ago in a 2 banger. Cheers

[birdy]

will a soob run on this,I wouldnt use that goanner p1ss to start a fire. >Never heard a good word bout that scam .And cors BP recon its orrite, they want to sell the crap.Ring up the moo farms near where y need the fuel Russ, theyll be much more accomodaten. [ till they meet you at least ]

[GraemeMonro]

And if............you get disoriented.........don"t head 1 way, then another, then another as you is panicking, bleedin voice in ya head makes you do dumb things.............that"s where the "planning" sorts that out. Be aware of the general positions of things..........friendly things.I better shut up.........
