Default Fuel Transfer Placards

Hello -

I'm starting to purchase parts one-by-one to build a mogas fuel transport
trailer, and noticed something about the pump, and filters.

The 12v Fill-Rite transfer pump I'm looking at has a tag on it that reads
something like: "Warning: Not for refueling of aircraft".

And, the spin on fuel filters are all stamped: "Not for use with aviation
fuels"...

So what's the deal? Are they really not for fueling aircraft, or just 'CYA'
precautions on behalf of the manufacturers? Looks to be 'CYA' material to
me.
