Of course you should check with your local laws
the reality is, unless I have some other reason to stop you (probable
cause....such as rolling through a stop sign <g>)...and then even more
reason to initiate a search, I would never know. That being said, it
amazes me how many things I can stop folks for....more amazing is how often
"turds" all but scream at the cops "please officer, pull me over" by the
outlandish/illegal cars they drive. One example in Texas is having any
color but white or amber facing forward. These newer led lights that are
popular now do this often.......
But as a cop and an attorney, I would never
advise you to do anything knowingly illegal......or, something truly
unsafe.
All the best,
Chris

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.
Robert

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,
Chris Barber

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.

You

it. :>)

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.
