That's what I had to explain to him... that he cannot stop me from refuelling
my plane. I'm pretty sure that a 100 gallon tank would have to have some DOT-approved
work to make it legal for transportation on the road. I don't know what the magic
capacity limits, but obviously a semi trailer and a 5 gallon can in the trunk are
subject to different rules.

I've been told by one of my county commissioners who is also a partner
on a 12,000 gallon self serve outfit at an airport near here as well as
being a pilot that you have to be over 300 gallons before you have DOT
problems. Like a lot of rural areas 100-150 gallon in-bed fuel tanks
are everywhere here. I put mine on a trailer as I didn't like the smell
in the garage and I needed the space in the bed for other things.
