Ever been to Fleet Farm, or whatever they call the farm and ranch store
in your area? You can get tanks in all shapes and sizes from 20 gallons
on up to 120. There are tabs welded on to the bottom so thay can be
mounted in the back of your truck. I had mine mounted in the truck for
a while but it takes up space and stinks up the garage. Don't know what
the laws are, don't care.

What are the legalities of transporting more than 55 gallons of
hazardous materials in your locale? Gasoline IS a hazardous material,
you know. Thats one of the reasons that the nice tanks that are designed
to be carried in pickup truck beds are smaller than that quantity
(unless tied into the vehicle's fuel system)

Things to consider....
Vehicle Licensing?
Driver Training and licensing?
Placarding?

I have a 100 gallon tank on a 4x8 trailer. There is a battery mounted
behind the tank for the 12 volt pump. Unless I am going on a trip I
normally fly with about 40 gallons in my tanks that have an 84 gallon
max.

If I buy a 152 getting the autogas STC appeals to me a lot for the
obvious reason (economy).

What I'm wondering about is exactly how the pilots that are running
autogas are getting it to the airport. I can't imagine the typical
answer is much different than "carting it there in cans" but even a
152 is going to require 5 5-gallon cans for a single fillup! That's
a lot of cans. Is there a better way?
