Buly is correct. Some of you saw my
trailer. It is a small trailer from Harbor Freight with a 100 Gal steel
tank bolted to it from Tractor Supply Co. Any farm supply outfit
should carry something similar. I don't "recall" any notice about what it
was for, but it had a radiator type vent cap that holds some pressure (not much)
to keep the fumes in. The 12V pump, filter, meter and hose were also from
the farm supply store. The meter was calibrated for diesel, so I pumped a
bunch of gas into 5-gal cans until I got it reset.
I used approved 5-gal plastic containers for a year
or so to transfer my fuel from the local gas station. Never had any
problems, but did always set them on the ground to fill, and always set them on
the wing and held them with one hand while the other hand grounded us both to
fuel port prior to filling the aircraft.
I only have to go about a mile to the local gas
station, and it is all on private property, so it doesn't even have to be street
legal here.

Bobby, Bill Eslick has the best setup I have seen. He can give
you all the details, It is a 100 Gal steel tank with 12V pump and gas station
type hose with meter on a small trailer.

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.
Thanks,
Bobby
