Is fuel available at KOZS, including Jet A?
KOZS stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, along with A+ fuel. Attendance follows a seasonal schedule, running 0800-1800 from October through April and extending to 0800-2000 from May through September.

All of these systems require activation by the pilot over the common traffic advisory frequency, since the airport is non-towered.
