Default Banning mogas at the airport...

Most farms have a large fuel supply and they use smaller
50-200 gallon tanks to fuel the tractors and combines in the
field, you don't drive the tractor 10 miles back to the barn
to get fuel. Also, AG pilots have fuel and chemicals
brought to the remote field when they are using the roads on
the farm as "airports."

| The question that comes to mind is "What do California
farmer do?" I can

| see a farmer filling his tractor with a lawn mower can
and then drive back

| the house for more gas. Repeat 20 or more times :-)
|
| Is a farmer can have a tank on his truck, why can't an
aviator?
|
| Most farms have stationary tanks that are serviced by fuel
distributors.
| That's the norm but who knows what goes on in CA.
