Default flight school installing an autofuel tank

: So why don't you buy and install a tank and pump and sell the fuel
: yourself. Iowa still allows competition don't they? I have a friend
: who installed a 12,000 gallon tank at an airport near here and directly
: competes against the full service FBO on the field. Because your field
: takes FAA funds you are guaranteed to get it approved although the
: process can be discouraging.

What exactly are the rules on this? The airport authority here has a rather draconian set of rules WRT "taxes" they
impose on other potential FBO's who might want to sell fuel. I suspect the rules are contrary to what the feds say is
allowable (but then again, so are a lot of other rules they've imposed as well).
