Small Tanks

摘要

Some aircraft just have small tanks. I'm lucky my Cub has a generous six-gallon wing tank, combined with the 12-gallon main tank. Together, I have a whopping 18 gallons of fuel, but I only count 15 gallons of it as usable. As one consequence, my 30-hour trek from Idaho to Kansas and back required a lot of stops, some unexpected waiting and some improvisation.
