Fuel Weight
Got to wondering how much fuel weight I carry on my Roo.
Looked up some weights on the internet.
Kerosene:
4.822 lbs per gallon, 77.152 ozs.
.603 lbs per pint, 9.648 ozs.
1.2055 lbs per quart, 19.288 ozs.
For whatever it's worth.

My "standard aviation maintenance handbook" lists the following:
JP-4 - 6.55 lb per gal
JP-5 - 6.82 lb per gal
kerosene - 6.84 lb per gal
for what it's worth.
JP-4 - 6.55 lb per gal
JP-5 - 6.82 lb per gal
kerosene - 6.84 lb per gal
for what it's worth.

lighter fuel
Pete,
as a 30 year jet jock i'm pretty familiar with the weight of jet fuel.
Jet A, B, or JP'4 all weigh about 6.7lbs/us gallon. Maybe you're thinking of lighter fluid. lol.

&^%**^% thats a hell of a big tank in that roo !! how long are your flights ?? when i was flying my roo on a 1.08 and a pusher prop, i had 2 40oz tanks of glo fuel. I was landing after 20 min, and still had another 5 - 10 minutes worth left in there ... i use a 1.7 liter tank for jet a now and get about 6 min out of that ....
