What have
others done for transporting auto fuel to the airport. My FWF test trailer
is almost complete and I need to purchase a fuel tank. I find lost of tanks
for diesel but not for gasoline. I would like to keep the tank for transferring
fuel once flying. Any ideas? I am considering an above deck marine
tank.
Hi
Bobby,
I ran into the same problem
of finding diesel, but not gasoline tanks. Usually, you had to get into
the fine print to find that little tidbit, and it also usually
said not for gasoline in California, or something to that
effect. 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.
Cheers,
Rusty (RV-8 empennage kit
