The first thing this post says to me is that you have the ability to
purchase fuel from a fuel distributor or tank farm. If not, you'll need
that ability. Then all the licenses, permits, inspections, pump and meter
calibrations and certifications ect. But, it does not necessarily mean that
you have to "operate" your business from or on the airport, you may be able
to operate from your house and simply deliver fuel to your customers by
appointment at the airport. This type of operation is fairly common in both
farming and crop dusting. We often have fuel delivered to tanks and crews
by appointment at BFE locations. However, your local airport may have some
equal competition rules about all retail operations maintaining an on
airport office and meet the same set of standards. But I would question
whether they could prohibit you from delivering fuel that a customer has
already purchased if you meet all the normal transport and delivery
criteria.

airplane, he said he'd meet me at 10am. Where do you want me to park?"

Would it be possible to sell fuel at an airport simply by driving a
fuel truck to the field? Would I need an office, or could I simply
drive the truck from airport to airport selling gas?

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to get a permit to do this?
