If the Avgas you guys are buying is dyed (because it's taxed at a much lower rate than street fuel) be careful.
The federal government (and possibly your state too) will levy fines that you wouldn't believe.

The diesel boys are well aware of this.
Say you have a diesel truck on the road and you are caught with red dyed diesel (accident or mechanic turns you in). Say this truck has 150,000 miles on it. Say it gets 20 mpg (the Gov/IRS will use published estimates) that means it's consumed 7,500 gallons of fuel.
Say the fed and state taxes added together are $0.50 per gallon. That's $3750 in tax evasion.

Now double that....(think repaying the Gov AND a penalty). Fine is $7,500.
And now you face criminal charges for easy to prove tax evasion.

Al Capone died in prison (syphllis) because of tax evasion--it was the easiest thing to nail him on.

Just sayin
