Hi,

I had not really considered hauling high-octane, auto-gas to the airport because the airplane 15 gallon tank meant easily three or more, 5 gallon containers. Then there is the contamination risks from transporting fuel and empty containers all over the place with potential spillage. Worse, to carry these cans in the trunk and/or in the hatchback, well I've smelled enough gas not to want to repeat that experiment. Then someone suggested using a modified trailer, like the one I used to carry my plane to Huntsville:
  • What sort of 'safety' requirements are needed to transport gasoline on a private trailer?
  • How do FOBs typically handle this? (I would buy it from the FBO if they offered it.)
  • Are there vehicle insurance policy requirements?
  • How are gas vs. aviation taxes handled?
I was resigned to having to use 100LL but if no-lead, high octane, gas can be used, I might go ahead and plan for an O{2} sensor. But I was not going to use an O{2} sensor if I had to use 100LL since it would 'foul' pretty quickly.

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
