Message from the airport manager ~ Tuesday, July 26, 2022

The current fuel pump is not reading accurately.  The OCPI board plans to replace this in the near future (waiting on quotes).  Until notified otherwise - please use the inline digital gauge to track the number of gallons of fuel you pump.  This gauge is accurate down to 1/10 of gallon.
