My thanks to all you netters who chimed in on autogas handling. I'm settling on the Chris Pryce solution and looked at the 5 gallon Tuff Jugs that Chris mentioned. Going through the company's specifications on their jugs, as well as their FAQs, they neatly sidestep the question about whether the HDPE that they use in making the jugs is fuel grade or not, and a question that I posed directly to their support people resulted in a gentle reiteration of the statement in their FAQ. I understand their disclaimer and am OK with that.
N335KC has a 17 gallon tank up in front of the instrument panel, over the pilot's knees, so the fill opening is at a height that makes it easier to observe the filling process if you're not trying to balance a big heavy container of fuel up there for any length of time. The Tuff Jugs empty their contents pretty briskly, as I understand it, so that helps. I suppose I'll need to acquire three of their 5 gallon jugs, but I'm fine with that too. Santa Claus arrived early and left me a set of pitch and roll servos for the GRT Horizon EFIS today. The servos will install on the floor behind the seat and are of the capstan type with bridles that clamp onto the elevator and aileron crossover cables aft of the aft spar (thanks to John Bouyea and Jeff Scott for guidance on this). Should make a nice installation. I'll post a pic and installation comments once I get it done, in case anyone is interested. Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR KR 1-1/2 N335KC in restoration
