Re: AVGAS 80 & MOGAS

Jim

Most tankers have multiple tanks. For example a 8000 gallon tank truck
could have four 2000 gallon tanks. This lets them deliver smaller
amounts of gas to the small Stop & Go type stores that don't want to
invest the dollars in a full load all at one time.

The multiple tanker layout is also a safety feature so that if one
tank starts a leak only part of the load will get out (small possible
fire and clean up and less money lost). Also it lets the tanker carry
different grades of gas (reg, super, extra $ super) on one delivery to
a station.

So, I see no problem (from experience a number of years ago in the gas
business) of dropping less than the full tanker at different
locations.

Only thing might be cost of tanker charge for the extra distance and
time needed to hit several locations??? Also it assumes that several
airports all needed gas at same time so one tanker could hit them all
with the total load of 8000 gallons.

Have a nice day in the land of F's & N's. Only spent 7 wonderful years
flying out there before SF went to the 'F's' :o)
