You mean gasoline or diesel fuel? I have done a lot of sailing in hulls with a boat motor but have never heard of "sailboat fuel".

I always thoughts pallets of PALLETS was a silly load. The USN Spec Ops Mk5 boat was always interesting as was the propulsion units for subs.
Best one: The replica of the Vickers Vimy powered by two Chevy engines for the National Geographic! Weighed a whole 9,000# and cubed out the cargo floor. And the US Aerobatic team, KDOV to ETAR.
