    I get what you are trying to acheive Cuppa and pretty much agree.
    Indeed, where you aren't travelling with another vehicle or small group I totally agree.
    Just because you can carry it doesn't mean you must.
    Out in the boonies travelling alone I always work on fuel required equals the amount needed to get to the next fuel past the next fuel +10%

    By that I mean (purely as an illustration) to leave point A then I carry enough fuel to get to point C.
    Just in case Murphy has been to point B and screwed up the fuel availability is one reason but there are others... including paranoia
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    It is a quandry, one of our travel companions had a split in his long ranger tank, they saved what they could and fortunately the damage was high on the tank so there was plenty left.

    Paranoia, call it what you like, still like to look at it than look for it LOL
    Cheers

    G'day Gents,

    Probably not a Mexican/Victorians (mini state) place to join in here my apologies.

    Some years ago did attempt studying up on CASA fuel safety/legalities and our massive geographical country for adventures.

    Reg's were something along the lines of if planned landing strip was not possible then enough fuel must have been loaded to make next backup.

    In regards to touring this great land on terra firma it would make sense to me to carry what a worst case scenario could throw at us?

    Cheers MB

    Yeah it was me, I thought $12.37 was a high price, but as the previous owner agreed to stay on as my personal slave I thought it might make me a million or two. I even thought up a catchy new name for myself ' Automotive Plus'... not bad eh? Everyone will now be expected to make each post at least 500 words or they have to hand their free manual back. New members will have to post compromising photos of themselves, pay $89.73 for a manual & bite the heads off live newts at their first forum meetup.

    Did AB delete that thread..??
    It's just occurred to me that I'm pretty sure it was posted after 12 mid day..
    Thus making it nul and void and the poster is the fool and gets 1 punch in the neck from all of us....
