			As far as I know you can't get it here in New York either.

			can you guys get off road fuel? I know we have a local fuel supplier. One of  my customers has a 500 gallon tank at his house, they come and fill it up with non e fuel, no road tax. He has a construction business so he runs the paper work thru it. He has a 30 ft contender that he keeps the tanks full from that storage tank. IIRC, he had about $750 in the tank and pump

			There are a handful of stations in downstate New York that sell E free. Nearest one is a 45 minute drive. Conoco. Real pain in the a$$. Right now the pumps are marked 10% or less. Once they change it up I might not have a choice.

			Spare, one of the many issues that plague me is the marina. They don’t mind if I carry gas cans on board but they don’t let you fill up at the dock. We pull a couple hundred yards off to a nice big marsh area and pump it in there. The gas dolly won’t help me much.

			I understand why they wont let you fuel at the dock. Run portable tanks. 6 gallon tanks are easy to handle, run them first, strap them on the deck when they are empty to keep them out of the way, run off the main tank to get back home. You can install a fuel selector valve and switch between the main tank and carry on tanks. Every time you go down to the boat, add 5 gallons to the main tank. BTW, race car gas jugs work far better then the gas jugs with the stupid epa fillers. They even make a battery operated transfer pump for them. The guys I rent my shop from use them to refuel their jet ski rentals. I've transferred fuel from carry on tanks just using a fuel line with a primer bulb attached. Keep the quick disconnect on the line, clip on the carry on tank, get the siphon going with the primer bulb.  When using plastic tanks, be careful of static electricity

			I removed the epa insert from the tanks. I use the $11.99 battery powered pump to fill the main tank. I got 4 USA made 5 gallon cans from BJs for $17.99 each. I pump them into the tank and toss them in the cuddy. That little cuddy is so loaded with crap, it’s just another bit of crap taking up space. We have a good little system going. Takes about 12-14 minutes to dump 20 gallons in the tank. Last week we went outside to one of the inshore reefs and took 2 extra cans with us. Burned less than I thought we would.
