The response varies. Apparently they can get fined for allowing
non-Professional Dispensing Engineers to touch the gasoline pumping
machine apparatus. Attempting to do so can get you a very stern warning
or shout followed by who-knows-what. If the professional dispensing
engineer doesn't see you (not likely) or just doesn't give a damn you
may be in better luck. It's particularly frustrating when you just want
to fill a portable can and not have someone spill the gasoline you are
paying for all over the place.

I was in NJ the other day, and was happy to take advantage of the $0.25/gal
cheaper gas prices compared to NY, while the PDE got his hands dirty
instead of me.

What I really don't understand is the sign they had about filling cans. I
don't remember the exact wording, but it essentially said you can only
dispense gasoline into an approved metal container OR a container that's
red. So, as long as the container is red, it doesn't need to be approved?
I can drive up with a sheep's bladder or a hollowed-out gourd and fill that
with gas, as long as it's painted red? And I let the PDE do the
dispensing, of course.

What happens in New Jersey or Oregon if you land an airplane after
hours and need to refuel? No good?

My aieport (77S, Creswell, OR) is all self serve. The silly car law to
which you refer does not apply to aircraft here.
