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 :)

25gal may not be so limiting. Get a standard pick-up truck gas tank or two from the junkyard. Would the built-in, 12-volt pump and a length of 1/2" hose fill to slowly? It's light enough to throw in the back of the truck (or even in a trunk), is designed to carry gasoline and will probably no cause any extra fabrication. You should be able to get them really cheap, as it's one of the things that have to be removed before a vehicle can be crushed. The take on my Dodge Dakota is a long rectangular tank with a flat bottom.
What you should really do is build a Delta. Then you can just tow it to the service station before heading to the airport. 8*)
