What wenormally do when we need to get fuel for our plane is to buy a 5 gallon(orbigger like the Jeep ones) container. They are heavy to lift to a highwing. Even to carry them around. I bought 4 of the red plastic 2.5 gallon ones. they have great stabilitywhen in the floor of my bus (just a few kilometers from the gas station tothe field). They are very easy to lift and with 4 (or 6) we can take enough fuel to topthe tank.For a filter I use a piece of "deer skin" cloth, that yellow one that isused for cleanning cars, in the funnel when at the gas station, just becarefull with the level in the container.This fuel filtering is used for decades in local aviation (AG pilots).SaludosGary Gower________________________________________________________________________________
