Best I could tell, it really came down to a liability issue more than anything. I finally bought a 90 gallon aluminum tank for the back of my truck, and had the Line-X boys coat it like my truck bed. Best I "recall", there wasn't any sticker that said you couldn't use it for gasoline :-) It's got a pump, and meter on it, and works great. At the airport, more people commented on the fuel setup, than the plane :-) The other great use for the transfer tank around here has been hurricanes. When you can't get gas, 90 extra gallons is mighty nice to have.
