Are colostomy bags fuel resistant?

[timm9227]

My Corsair Black Devils a bit thirsty using about 5 litres an hour and only has a 9 litre tank so I’m struggling to get 2 hours flying time.

With some ambitious cross countries planned for the coming months I was considering fitting a reserve tank.

Working on the basis that my mother in laws piss smells more toxic than unleaded, I’m going to borrow two of her colostomy bags and use them as reserves which should double my flying time, might even make the coast if the winds in the right direction.

Just a bit concerned that if it goes horribly wrong people might think that someone’s dropped a Napalm bomb.

Can’t see any problems myself as long as I wash them out before giving them back to the mother in law.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

You could try some of them Billy Connelly incontinence trousers, then you could store the fuel down your legs, in that way you wont upset you mum in law.

I dont think you will get far on 9 litre of piss. Try putting fuel in one and leave for a week to see if it burns through is what i would do.or can you fit a bigger tank....

I was vaguely considering something along those lines for the GuadalQivir 400 race:
