RE: Jet A in Los Angeles area
Thanks Gary. There has been lots of changes as far as regulation of Jet A "to go" in the local airports so I'm having tough time finding an fbo that would accommodate. I'll drive to chino if I know they will pump. What was the name of the FBO?
Thanks
Thanks

I fly out of Chino and I don't think ther is an FBO that will readily pump Jet A into anything other than an aircraft fuel tank. Something to do with Safety or tax issues.
I used to use Jet A pumped out of my plane but .. that stuff is smelly! A lot of sulphur in it and if you spill a little bit in the car or around the garage it takes a log time for the smell to go away.
If you can afford to take a drum there is a great supplier in LA/Orange Co Area.

It runs somewhere around $6 per gallon (K-1 Kerosene). Jet-A goes for $4.75 to $6.50 so it's not that much more.
Happy Flying!

It's not Jet A and that close to LA, but I do have a place for cheap Kero. I last paid $4.19 a gallon +tax. They will pump all the containers or drums you have. If you are running KingTechs, just stop at the local gas station and buy Diesel!!

Ive bought from Home Depot a 5gal Kero can for about $25. Its very clean and clear and easy to purchase.

Merit Oil mentioned above currently has it for $5.23/gal out the door. That's the best price so far.
