Rusty, are you talking about pulling fuel out of your truck's fuel tank to fill the plane?  What a wonderful idea.  I have a 24gal tank on my pickup.  It would take two trips to the gas station, but it would be much nicer than having some huge bomb-wannabe sitting around idle most of the time.

Seeing as autogas can be hard to come by at some airports, what is the feasibility/drawbacks to a small, compact, self-priming pump that could pull the gas out of a car to fill the plane?  I'm sure there's somebody at most airports willing to trade a tank of gas for a 1/2-hour ride. Just 10ft or so of hose handy, drop it in their tank and suck em' nearly dry.

Nah, that's just crazy.
