How do I transport race gas?
I plan on making a trip back to PA. I know where I am going they don't have the fuel I am tuned for. I have some racing to take care of and I'll need it.
What is a good way for me to take back 15 gals. of race fuel? Please don't flame me for asking this, but is it OK to have it in my trunk? I would obviously have it in a spill proof container and strapped down. What other precautionary steps should I take to insure I won't have an accident.... Beside leaving it at home
Any suggestions?

Ah...
Placing racing gas in your trunk is a little like becoming a suicide bomber. That stuff can develop fumes and set up an environment perfect for a catastrophie right in your lil' ol' trunk. Especially on a hot day.
Not a sane solution IMHO

Yhea, honestly I wouldn't do it. I've seen cars that had trunk blasts from transporting race gas. Unless you have a fuel cell, gas of any kind in the trunk can be dangerous.

you should be ok...as long as you have an air-tight container
I transport my gas in the floorboard of the back seat...strapped down and always travel with the windows down
you should be fine
