I took a quick look and Gillespie Field is near you. It's very likely to have self-serve 100LL (I didn't check for sure). I used to run pretty much all my small carb'd motors (including generators) on it. It'll keep much longer than your CA pump fuels.My fuel storage is small because of my inability to buy Ethanol Free Gasoline. I treat the small amount of gs i store and when it gets to be about a month old I feed it to my van. I have one 20 liter can for my generator.
i called the the fuel retailer and was told that they would only sell 100 Octane Low Lead to be pumped into an aircraft, not a drum or 20 liter can.I took a quick look and Gillespie Field is near you.

I wonder if that's a California thing? Around here, many of the GA airports are "open" and pumps are self-serve. If you can find someone that's a pilot, they may be able to help you. It's "unreasonable" not to allow fuel to be pumped into containers - what if I'm a mechanic or I'm if I'm stuck at another airport where the fuel pump is out and don't have enough fuel to take off?i called the the fuel retailer and was told that they would only sell 100 Octane Low Lead to be pumped into an aircraft, not a drum or 20 liter can.
If it's self-serve, you can basically walk in. Some pumps may require a tail number, but will take literally any input.i called the the fuel retailer and was told that they would only sell 100 Octane Low Lead to be pumped into an aircraft, not a drum or 20 liter can.
