Gas Delivery Startups Want to Fill Up Your Car Anywhere, But It Might Not Be Legal (bloomberg.com)

A new crop of startups are trying to make gas stations obsolete. Tap an app, and they'll bring the gas to you, filling up your car while you're at work or at home.

 Filld, WeFuel, Yoshi, Purple and Booster Fuels have started operating in a few cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia.

 But officials in some of those cities say that driving around in a pickup truck with hundreds of gallons of gasoline might not be safe.

 "It is not permitted," said Lt. Jonathan Baxter, a spokesman for the San Francisco fire department,

adding that if San Francisco residents see any companies fueling vehicles in the city, they should call the fire department. 

"We haven't talked to them.

 I don't know about that. It's news to me," said Nick Alexander, co-founder of Yoshi.

 "You can never ask for permission because no one will give it," said Chris Aubuchon, the chief executive officer at Filld.

 The Los Angeles Fire Department said it's drafting a policy around gasoline delivery. 

"Our current fire code does not allow this process; however, we are exploring a way this could be allowed with some restrictions," said Captain
Daniel Curry, a spokesman for the city's fire department.

Even specially equipped gasoline tanker trucks get in accidents and all hell breaks out.

Personalized gas delivery in small trucks is clearly not a great idea for our streets IMO.
