When the Somerset Police Department’s Aviation Unit was looking for a better way to fuel up their helicopter, they discovered the Contractor 110 Deluxe portable fuel trailer by Gas Trailer. As a better alternative to hauling around 5 gallon gas cans and other auxiliary tanks, the model they purchased has provided quicker refueling turns, less pilot fatigue, and lower fuel prices by now being able to locally transport mogas pump fuel.

Efficient fueling is a goal that every pilot and aircraft owner in general aviation practice. From the price per gallon of the Avgas or Mogas you run to the distance you’ll need to taxi or fly to fuel up, many factors go into how you refuel your airplane or helicopter. To help minimize the time, cost, and wear on his engine, our customer Duane from Texas, for example, purchased a gas trailer for both efficiency and to use the ethanol free unleaded that his engine runs the best on.

What makes an aviation gas trailer good for pairing with an aircraft is that it provides you instant access to fuel anytime your plane or heli needs to be refueled. If you purchase one, what you get is pretty much a scaled down version of a your own gas station pump. How does this all work? Well, it’s related to how a fuel trailer is designed. At Gas Trailer, all of the models that we have available come equipped with a DOT compliant fuel tank, fuel pump, nozzle, and hoses, that are necessary to pump fuel. In addition, our Pro models include aviation rated pumps and meters that are specific for 100LL Avgas or Jet A. (more…)
Flying can get pretty expensive, especially when it comes to purchasing the fuel that keeps your plane up in the air. At the airfield, the cost of MoGas, Regular, or Unleaded Pump Fuel can sometimes be double, even triple the price compared to an offsite fueling station. Talk about expensive, right? There is a way to cut down on your airplane fuel costs and that’s by using an aviation fuel trailer. One would be a smart investment if you’re flying consistently. (more…)
Making the decision to purchase an aviation fuel trailer is smart because having one means you’ll always have access to fuel when you decide to go flying. However, what’s not smart is purchasing one without really thinking about what you’re doing first. If you do that, you have a good chance of not getting the right one to match your needs, which would be extremely irritating. So to make certain you steer clear of this frustration, follow these steps to buy the right one for you: (more…)
Safety comes first with the gas trailer models we produce. That’s why when we started designing the prototypes of our products, we did so by following the safety standards of the Department of Transportation. We wanted our customers to have peace of mind when they used our mobile gas trailers for their fueling needs. After countless hours of research, design modifications, and simple trial and error, we’ve come up with an industry leading product that uses tanks manufactured under a Special Permit issued by the DOT.

As a pilot, you want to be able to get to your plane, do your pre-flight checks, and get in the air when it’s time to fly. However, what typically throws a wrench into the works is the need to fuel up your plane. If you don’t have fuel on hand, then you have to go somewhere to get it or even worse, wait for someone to bring it to you. Doing either keeps you from getting in the air when you want to, so, to always have direct access to gasoline, turn to aviation fuel trailers. One will let you take control of your fueling situation.

Gas Trailer products were born and raised in the aviation industry. Although our Gas Trailer models are a useful commodity in any industry or activity that involves fuel, the idea for the company, our prototypes, and first models were spawned from the aviation industry. Needless to say, we have a bit of a soft spot for those who use our products for their planes and we continue working to make each of our products ultimately useful for pilots. (more…)
