Chris,
As an officer of the law do you think it would be
illegal to transport gas in a 50 gal square steel tank mounted on a small two
wheel 4x4 foot trailer that is fully enclosed and is properly lighted and
licenced ?
Thanks for your coment.

Mark,
REALLY? No alcohol in fuel in Texas.
The pumps from where I get my gas says that it "may" contain 10%
ethanol....is this just there to cya (I understand cya does not always mean
"call your attorney"). I question it since when the Jeffco failed
in my strake it was highly speculated it was due to ethanol in the fuel.
I would like to know that it is not present as to eliminate it as an
issue. I have always gotten the 87 octane from the station across the
street from the airport and I had no idea it may not be an issue for the
GSOT. Hmmmmmmm?
OH, btw, I am a cop and while I am sure that I
could pull ya over for the the tanks being transported that way and find a
violation (as damn near everything is illegal these days <sigh>), I find
it highly unlikely that I would. There is too much other stuff to stroke
someone for that has a conscious disregard for others safety (yeah, you can
say being a "new Pinto" could classify for that, but again, other stuff
occupies the day.......like felony "fail to signal turn at intersection"
<g>) Of course, I am in GSOT and not the Peoples Republic of
California.......
All the best,

Bill,
No alcohol in our gas here in Texas. I
run nothing but mogas in my Lancair. Gov. Perry is fighting the feds
on this issue and I sure hope he wins. Another good reason to have a
rotary fly-in here, right Dennis?

MOgas with no alcohol?

Well this a Ford, an Escape;
hopefully I'll be able to escape … but the Pinto's gas tank was
underneath the car, between bumper and frame … people shouldn't tailgate
too close when they see 3 gas cans in their face.

I got tired of smelling and afraid of carrying gas behind the back
seat of my SUV, so I made this trailer-hitch carrier out of 1 1/4"
pipe and an ATV basket … it's not bullet-proof, but if an accident
occurs the gas is better off outside the vehicle than inside.
