At least around where I am, some of the public airports sell mogas on-field. It's one of the few places in WA where you can get booze-free gas. That said, I found a private airport that rents T-hangars for $150/mo and is closer to my house than any other field that's not a residents-only-airpark,

Maybe it is because airplane have vented tanks and quick drains while cars have closed fuel systems. Most gas cans also have tight fitting caps. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA -- Same logic that my homeowners insurance used

So, that begs the question, why is 200 gallons of fuel stored in the tanks of an airplane more save than 20 gallons of fuel stored in approved containers that are completely sealed? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2015 KR Gathering - McMinn

My hangar lease agreement stipulates that fuel or combustibles outside the aircraft fuel tank(s) may not be stored in the hangar in any quantity. It's not really to protect the nearby FBO who has a self-service avgas pump that has never pumped anything that costs less than $4/gallon, it's to pr

I've been running the 8.5:1 compression O-200 in my KR and the 8.5:1 160 HP O-320 in my SuperCub clone on a diet of 100% E0 premium fuel for the last 2 years. I have a tank with filter, grounds, and electric fuel pump that is anchored in the bed of my truck. Nobody at the airport (including th

I operated my B33 out of two public airports in OR for years. Realize that with aux tanks I could transfer as much as 80 gals of mogas at a time. I used approved plastic jugs that frequently filled my car trunk and back seat. I was discrete and safe, and completely unchallenged. I heard that fed

Paul, I don't think that they search every vehicle. Lots of folks here do there own fueling. Don't be overtly obvious about it. My airport does have mogas so I have only done it a few times. > On Apr 2, 2015, at 10:33 AM, Paul Visk via KRnet > wrote: > > I'm starting to look for airports i
