Getting fuel to desolate places…???

[dmdude]

How do people get gasoline to a desolate ocean front cabin for small outboard use? I know you can’t fly it out on the float plane. I’m guessing boat it all the way out there yourself?? No road access.

Snowmobile + snow + stabil

Pilots fly fuel all the time. Maybe its not legal commercially?

Taquan Air out of Ketchikan. The lady said no but seemed to not fully know. Maybe I need to call back.

I have to assume it’s a company policy.

You can fly with fuel. Just without passengers on board. Assuming they have the proper license.

I sat next to 40 gallons of diesel on a flight into the wragnells. but was not allowed to bring a fuel canister for a pocket rocket.

We used to sling load barrels of jet fuel all over southeast Alaska under a helicopter. I can't see why that should have changed.

As htm84 wrote. Legally Passengers + hazardous materials = no. Hazardous materials on cargo flights only.
For helo ops same, also no passengers during slinging operations.

Similar. ~ 30 gallons of gasoline sitting next to me in the back of a Beaver float plane in Canada.

Talk to the pilot and drain it from the airplane.
There are lots of ways to tame down ave gas.

When we were in the Noth west territories, they brought 55 gallon drums of fuel we would unload from float planes all the time.
