Is it 10% of the weight of the van, and is that 10% a Legal requirement ? or is it just a measurement that gets bandied around at Happy hour? I think it is legal a requirement and if I'm wrong it could cost me a CASK of wine Reb...

I plan to email and ask if they can do it cheaper for a weekly st...
