Research that tank size before you plunk some $$$ down on it. I just
recently converted by Commercial Drivers License with Hazmat
endorsement back to a regular DL.. a throwback from over 10 years ago
when I did a side job driving trailers of compressed air. That
qualified as a "hazardous material", and I seem to remember a limit of
55 gallons before specific regulations came to bear for the driver and
the vehicle hauling the haz materials. If the tank is not connected to
a vehicle's fuel system, then I believe the 55 gal limit applies...
above which you need placards, commercial license (and hazmat
endorsement.. even though its not commercial carriage) and you may even
have insurance issues to deal with. Don't take my word for it.. do your
own research. While DL's are state issues, the CDL is federally
standardized and regulated.
I am well aware of some Usenet regulars who have their own transport
systems rigged up... but I am not aware of the particulars..(size, etc)
I intend to put a 55 gal tank in the back of the pickup truck, toolbox
style, and fill it within a day or so of going to the airport.. and
then offloading into the plane as needed.

I aim to get a 100-gal or so tank on a utility trailer and use it for
my plane(s) and loan it out to some of the locals who want to. If I
outgrow the trailer really dramatically, I'll buy an old fuel truck and
just park it and fire it up when I need to dispense gas.
Sure 'nuff disappointing ... Jim S.
