Auto Fuel STC Approved By FAA
CubCrafters has received a new STC for their part-23 certified
Top Cub. The auto fuel STC is available from Petersen Aviation and
is approved for all CC18-180/CC18-180A aircraft. It provides you
with the paperwork and placards required by the FAA to make it all
legal. An IA mechanic must “install” the STC by adding
the new fuel and engine placards and then fills out a log book
entry and form 337. The whole process takes approximately 30
minutes.
No additional modification is required.
The STC allows the use of ethanol-free fuel with a minimum octane
rating of 91. Installing the auto fuel STC does not mean only
auto fuel can be used. Avgas can still be used and it can be mixed
with auto fuel if you wish.
CubCrafters’ Owner and Chairman, Jim Richmond comments
“The auto fuel option will open up even more remote
destinations that, until now, have been inaccessible because of the
lack of easy access to fuel. In addition, it will let Top Cub
pilots keep more of their hard-earned money in their
pockets.”
Along with the auto fuel STC, the Top Cub can be ordered with
optional tundra tires (up to 35”), L-21 style windows, skis
and amphibious floats, along with belly pods to further increase
fuel and cargo capacity. In fact, the Top Cub is an ideal choice
for any adventure-seeking pilot, as the same capabilities that lend
themselves to exploring the Alaskan wilderness make it great for
camping, fishing and hunting expeditions and cross-country
sight-seeing.
