So right, not something to be involved with. I was
using "approved" 5 gallon plastic gasoline containers hauling Auto Gas when
static electricity ignited, the funnel I was holding, the 5 gallon container, my
wing tank, the tarmac, etc. Fortunately, got them all out without damage
to me (other than jangled nerves) or the aircraft, but swore off plastic
containers from that point on. Do yourself a favor and use metal
containers and make certain they are grounded to the aircraft..

Joe,
I hope you are not using plastic containers. They can create lots of static
while refueling. I bought 4 new steel jerry cans for $15 each. I believe Ed
had a flash fire refueling from a plastic
container?

Depot was having a sale on 5gal containers and I for about $6 each and I got
5 of them.
My airport
has MoGas so I don’t need to transport fuel to the airport – the 5 gal
containers were used when I was testing gas tanks and running the engine at
home.

[FlyRotary] Transfer Tank for Gasoline
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.
