Dingy Fuel Polishing

[Dougcole]

Looks to me as if he is holed up in the Northern Abacos riding out this cold front that is moving through. Only a few fuel spots there and 30 to 50 miles apart, so no easy access to fuel. Surprised he has internet, probably a batelco chip.

I'd like to have a working dinghy in that situation.

Do you have a felt hat or a chamois? (it has to be a real leather one). If so, use it as a funnel. Water will not pass through it but the gasoline will. The felt will pass some fibres and will need to be filtered if it is a fuel injected motor, the chamois will not pass any fibres.

We always carried a felt for a Beaver and a chamois for a 185 when we were flying in the bush, were way out in the dingles and needed to fuel from drums. I guarantee it will work.

Practical answer. Never thought of this use of a chamois before. Thanks.
