Most small airports now have pay-at-the-pump.  Regional airports like Beaumont, may not want to deal with you.  The best thing I would suggest is call the airport you would consider closest to you and talk to the airport manager and ask if they're willing to sell to you.  Most are.  :smile15:  If you have problems, let me know.

Thanks will keep that in mind. Hoping to find a place close to home and just fill the boat up as needed but you know the saying wish in one hand and $hit in the other.........

Same way in Columbus.  :smile15:

I just got off the phone with a friend that owns a mechanic shop at Arcola.  He said that Clover is now Pearland regional.  I also asked him if it would be hard to get it at Arcola and he said they were pretty picky on how they dispensed it.  Still probably worth a phone call.

I wait for the airport to close and then go pay at the pump , some time the pump will ask for a tail number , just make one up or look around and use on that you can see.

Never had a problem yet ..  :smile13:

I never take the boat , I alway take jugs or the 55 gallon barrell with me .

I mix mine about 50/50 with 93 octaine .

But then again , I can just run 93 octain , I just like the little bit of higher octain for a safety factor , plus I like the way it smells

I run it straight and add Lucas upper cylinder lube at twice the recommended mix ratio.  I haven't had any problems.  :smile15:  seafoam works too.
