My hangar is about 30 miles from the nearest source of non-oxy non-ethanol gas. Currently when I get fuel for the airplane I fill several 5 gallon plastic jugs and carry those in the back of our Jeep. That's worked ok, but it's a pain and it stinks up the Jeep (and what I'm calling "our Jeep" is really my wife's Grand Cherokee...).

So I'm thinking about building a Fuel Trailer that I can tow maybe 100 gallons or so at a time.

Building a permanent fuel storage tank at my hangar is not an option where I'm at due to local codes.

I'm curious what some of you guys are doing if you have built (or bought) a Fuel Trailer. What works well in the real world? And what doesn't. Lessons learned? Have you had any problems with your Fuel Trailer attracting attention from nosy neighbors or small town police...?

Maybe other options that I haven't thought about?

Thanks,

- Pat
