  First time I have used self service fuel (on a flying trip around western USA in a rented Cessna 182). Worked exactly as stated by previous posters. Yes, a long walk to the terminal to collect a rental car. Couldn't figure out how to get the rental car onto the ramp, but walked thru the Rapid Fuel office to get to the plane. Free tie down parking on grass worked out well.

  Free tiedowns on grass adjacent to office. Nice for a "big" airport. Rental cars a long hike but National came and got us. Gate code to get back in is printed on your fuel receipt.

  Perfect fuel stop. Great self serve pump, clean bathrooms, mechanic available at L&D. Crew car to get to the terminal for real food.

  Easy Airport to get in and out of. Self-serve fuel is easy to use as well. Instructions are easy to understand. Rapid Fuel also has an OK lounge. Was in the middle of remodeling. Went to use the computer for weather briefing and it was SO SLOW, full of viruses. Was not able to use which was a big disappointment. Bathrooms were extra clean though, which was nice and cheap snacks in the fridge.

  We stopped on the way from Oshkosh going West, nice airport, tie downs EZ to access on the grass by the office. We used the phone and phone book to arrange our hotel and rode the shuttle van into town. Keep your receipt handy for the door code to access the aircraft from the public parking lot...

  KRAP was an easy airport to fly into ATC wise. The self-fueling was easy enough once we found the lever to turn on the pump. Small lever on the tank above head level. Marked but not obvious. The free parking in the grass is behind the hangers to the west of the pump. Just taxi back and pick a spot. May have to push back or pull into. Not level ground. A thank you to the people at L and D in that area for the routine to park and get through the gate. The Terminal is a 15-minute walk for a rental car if you can't get a ride. You need the code off your fuel ticket to get in to the secure area. To open the vehicle gate in order to drive to the plane you will have to walk through. Touch the pressure pad with the provided snow shovel, magnetic, I guess. Once in and leaving the car will trigger the gate. Or just hand carry your luggage out. The Jet center farther south has parking for $10-day. Closer to the Terminal. Full Service fuel.

  Fuel price is good, self serve facility is top notch. Fuel price not posted anywhere on facility beside 8x10 piece of paper. Representative came out to airplane and said price was $4.35, so I took less only to find price was actually $4.15. AvTrip Fuel but No AvTrip Points.

  Self-serve fuel is nice and affordable. They have a nice little lounge/computer with pop and snacks on the honor system. Great place.
 
From Steve Chefan on 07-Aug-2009

 
  We spent July 9th to 12th here. No tie down fee if you park in the grass. Staff was extremely helpful with local information and very friendly. We highly recommend this facility and will be back
 
From Ryan Lunde on 13-Jul-2009

 
  Very nice self-serve facilities. The building is clean and well kept and has a weather computer and a fridge with an honor jar. Rapid fuel is a welcome oasis for the budget-oriented flyer that is not often found at airports of this size.
