So curiosity got the better of me, I am not sure what plane is picture but to understand how much fuel a Cessna 180 would hold I decided to look it up... it appears a Cessna 180 holds between 55-60 gallons.... there was a long range option that added an additional 20 or so gallons of capacity.

With that said 6 5 gallon cans would give you 1/2 tank of fuel..... what that equates to for flight time I have no idea.....

When you look at the argument that ensued over crating a official runway, and float plane base in 19 mile bay, this looks like a stunt to me, to push the limits of what is allowable, to try and prove a point. From the photo, I can see the wheels on the floats so the plane is amphibious, and could easily land at Moultonborough or Laconia airports and fuel up, which would be much more convenient.........
