We've had farm coops who've had unattended pumps for years here in Dane
County, Wisconsin. I've not heard of any problems with them. Are
unattended pumps illegal or just not available for you?

Of course the nearest attended 24x7 gas station to me is less than half
a mile and there are probably half a dozen within two miles, so I'm not
stuck in your situation.
