Car engine FAA certified for airplane use

Jet fuel has a larger nozzle. I don't know whether you can fuel a gas 172
with the larger nozzle. I know at one time Beech was trying to get
restrictors in the openings of Bonanzas.

Wonder how they are going to prevent miss-fueling 172's with two types
of engines? Have different nozzles like used for unleaded gas in
automobiles or???????????

If I had a 172 with a Lyc or Con, I'd stand and watch each fueling to
be sure I got the correct fuel when the Centurions start showing up..

Make it even easier to prevent misfueling....go to single point refueling...

I don't understand how single point fueling will do a better job of
preventing using the wrong fuel.

Going to a single point system requires the use of a special pressure
feed nozzle. The nozzle locks onto a mating recepticle on the a/c.
With this system, all tanks are filled through the single connection.
The system is a bit of overkill ( to put it mildly ) for small a/c,
but we are going to start seeing it soon with the practicality of the
personal jet ever closer.

I can see it now as every vent in the 172 suddenly squirts fuel 15
feet! LOL Thar she blows. Hope no one down wind is smoking.
