Since it's a trailer, he doesn't have the buried-tank permit stuff to deal with.


I toyed with the same idea when I had my 150. Though it didn't get much beyond the daydreaming stage, I heard that carrying a trailer full of gas (even modest amounts) requires permit(s) or approval(s). Anyone look into that further? Is it state-by-state, or Federal, or non-existent?
