John,
I hope the containers are grounded when they are sitting in your trunk, there have been fires from static discharge when containers that are sitting in a trunk, or on a truck bed are fueled and not grounded. Since you have been doing this successfully, maybe you are already well grounded.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Transfer Tank for Gasoline
I'm using 5 gallon containers as well.
I have it down to a fine art now. Line them up in the trunk and fill them on the way to the field. Squirt 5 oz of 2 stroke in before leaving the gas station - that way it mixes on the way. Lift onto wet rag on wing, thumb over spout, tilt into tank then release thumb. Leave to gurgle in while I do the other side. I'm fueled up and ready to go while my hangar mate is still waiting for the ($4.50/gal) 100LL gas truck. :)

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
