Anyone have any suggestions on what we can do, in case the gas station in Ocotillo doesn't have any gas on Saturday ? I have to call later today to see if they'll have gas, guess they're having some type of permit issues.

Gas truck rental ??

Options for legal gas dispensers for about 250-300 gallons ??

Riders WILL need gas at this stop, otherwise they'll be pushing the limit of making it back to Butterfield.

Seeley market in Seeley has gas. But that would be a 4or 5 mile backtrack from plaster city then all the way to Ocotillo.
Seems do-able. If all else fails.

Thanks ! Is that on Evan Hewes or an exit off I-8 ? If they have to do that, I'd need directions to give to the riders.

That would be a whole lot easier then paying for a gas truck to show up, I talked to D37 about what they do for the LA-B-V when they rent the gas truck, but if needed, I'm sure that's another solution.

Got the address........map says it's 9.7 miles from Plaster City.

Oh well.....but it's the easiest emergency option for fuel.

Ed with So Co is a real nice guy and would have some good options as far as delivery truck etc.

You can do like what has been done at many events that I have been to, truck with trailer and a bunch of gas cans in the back. Mark your own with a ribbon or something so you know what one is yours, maybe have to pay the person to drive it to the spot and back.

After registration I'm free to help with whatever is needed, I'm glad to man the "gas station" BUT I won't have a truck there (taking motorhome, so not taking that full of gas cans)....if something can be arranged, I can drive

[xr650l bum]

If we need I can use my truck and man a gas stop. Let me know!

[bikeslut]

and don't forget... I will be at Butterfield in the early morning picking up tables and chairs... then going to Ocotillo, THEN back to Butterfield after lunch... so I can bring some cans too

The Ocotillo Texaco was out of fuel last Saturday and then we saw the Seeley pumps super busy as a result. Hope they have enough for everyone.

Everyone has to remember to bring a full 5 gallon gas can with your name on it so it can be taken to the little town of ocotillo also this is where lunch is. There are plenty of people driving over there to set up for lunch. Put your name on your gas can.
ALSO remember you will have to be full of gas SUNDAY morning when you leave camp. some of us may have to bring 2 full 5 gallon jugs.

This is NOT an option. Do you know what the liability would be for carrying over 100 5 gallon gas cans and storing them somewhere ?

We also cannot use one of your rigs to pump gas due to liability.

If Ocotillo does not have gas, the ride will go 10 miles to Seeley for gas.

[xr650l bum]

I dont think most people will need 5 gal. If you figure 2.5 per rider, we could ferry some gas 50-100 gal at a time as we need. This would eliminate the liability of carrying 500 gal.

[KTMrad]

It is still not an option. Liability prevents this, and we are not designated as legal dispensers of large quantities of gasoline.j

There are rules, laws and regulations regarding the dispensing of gasoline......and we will NOT be doing it.

Also, most people don't have the "Safety Cans" that are the legal way of carrying and dispensing gas.
