I trucked the fuel to my hangar and calibrated my fuel gages in preparation for first flight. First and subsequent test flights have gone well. Yesterday I got a call from SAAA. They had just received the invoice from BP. It seems that they had billed me for 210 drums of Avgas which probably exceeded my credit limit by a bit. The message was to call back ASAP. I can see why.
