There will actually be a couple of planes and owners. I have thought about
a trailer but does a tailer have a pump? A trailer has a lot of advantages
such as being able to hire a trucker to take it to be filled.


There must be some types that have pumps. Not all stationary tanks
are underground. You might be able to gravity-feed Joe's Gas'n'Go but
a lot of avgas tanks are freestanding. They may not be suitable for
transferring to an aircraft, though. The guy who comes around to check
the meter at my home airport drives a pickup with a itty bitty trailer
which is about half pump and about half hosereel. He needs it to pump
the 100 gallons he takes out for calibration back in.
