The main reason for requiring an aircraft number is to cover their butt.
AVGAS has no road use taxes added and selling it to be used in a street
vehicle would be a definite no-no. However if you let them know it is for
your race car, which would "never" see street use, and you bring in fuel
cans, you should have no problem buying 10-30 gallons at a time. I've done
it this way for years at many different airports. They just want to make
sure your no using it on the street.
