My friendly-neighborhood AIRPORT manager tried to mandate no self-fueling of aircraft shortly after we shelled out just
shy of $2000 for an autogas STC for our PA-28-180. I pointed him in the direction of the regulations regarding restrictions on
public airports that accept federal funding. Included in those (can't find the link at the moment) is a requirement that pilots
can fuel their own aircraft for non-commercial use. Non-issue after that.
