: Now, if I still lived in the Milwaukee/Racine/Kenosha/Chicago
: metroplex, things might be a bit different. But around here, there
: are no special restrictions or requirements to haul gas around. Your
: mileage may vary.

I'm in the "sticks" of southwest Virginia, but our new and improved airport
manager nearly swallowed his tongue when I first busted out my gas cans to fill my
plane. That was another reason I never expanded to build a fuel trailer/truck. I'm
sure that if I were to build a dedicated fuel trailer he could refuse parking on the
premises, and require DOT certification. I basically had to throw the relevant AC's
at him to clarify that it was *ILLEAGAL* for him to forbid me to self-fuel.

As long as it's in "normal" cans, it's still casual, non-bulk operation. It
certainly would be nice to have larger quantites, but around here it's certainly not
politically acceptable. So long as the cans have a filter on them to keep the fuel
clean, it's OK by me.
