Here's an interesting story concerning an air ambulance service based at KSDL and the fact that KSDL has revoked their "privilege" to use the self fueling island at the western end of the airport. KSDL futher says that only aircraft based at KSDL may use self-fueling and need a permit to do so, transient aircraft must purchase from the FBOs. KSDL again....figures.
My question is this: Since when has using the self-fuel islands become restricted like this? Granted it's been a while since I've flown civilian, but self-fuel was always something everyone could use. I still believe tha the self-fuel at KDVT doesn't have these same restrictions, or am I wrong?
