So what. If it is against FAA rules tell the manager that if he would kindly
show you the rule you will be more than happy not to do it. If it is aganist
an airport rule then he and you should do the same.

That's the plan! If there is a FAR against returning the removed fuel
to the aircraft, I'd gladly respect it, without having to be told.
Since my own research turned up nothing, I pick the vast expertise of
knowledge here. G

I like to have my ducks in a row without causing a rub. The manager who
works for the state agency that owns the airport doesn't have single
problem with any of this. The "expert" is a self-employed mechanic,
related to the manager of the FBO who runs the field, and I'd prefer to
continue the good relationship I have with both of them.

Airport rules prohibit storing fuel cans in hangars, so I wouldn't do
that. There is no airport rule against gas cans in or on vehicles, or
fuel transfer tanks, ala Jay's "Grape". Several local pilots are
various sorts of contractors (landscape, tree surgeon, builders, heavy
equipment repair...) and have had many gas and diesel cans in the
parking lot, on business trucks and trailers.

Thanks!
