OK, just mount a small generator on the
trailer next to the 125 gallon tank, connect a line to it and you’ll be
legal.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Transfer Tank
for Gasoline... Texas
regulations.
No one at the state could help me but they did manage to
send me around in a circle for a couple of hours. I ended up contacting a
transfer tank manufacture here in Texas
and of course they could answer my question right away.
1. If the tank is used to power equipment directly i.e.
boat, generator etc then you can drag around 125 gallons.
2. If it is a transfer tank with pump and hose for filling
other equipment you are limited to 25 gallons.
There may be an exception for certified tanks. I found one
manufacture in California
that make certified transfer tanks for gasoline. 70 gallons for $735. It might
take a couple of years to breakeven verses 100LL. But that is not including
spark plug costs :)
