In the US, farmers are exempt from paying sales tax on gasoline. So, if you qualify as a "farmer", you can have a fuel (gas or diesel) tank on your property. Distributors, though, dye the fuel, to mark it as "farm fuel". As far as gerrycans of fuel for your generator, I don't know if there are any regulations on that. No one said anything when we stock up on gerrycans preparing for Katrina. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE6nohS9HxQb37XmcRAiThAJ44Xi37lGQpMXdSIaqwTNuVHvDQewCffEFI KKmb1tii77tz8uiR0ONp5Tg= =ccqI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
