Why is it that many airports have gas available on the field, but aren't indicated as such on the sectional map?

PEX and CHU are two examples...
 
The answer is on your sectional key - "Services - fuel available and field tended during normal working hours depicted by the use of ticks around the airport symbol". My guess is your examples are untended self serve stations.
 
This sectional depiction (and what is in the AFD) is based on what the airport manager reports during their every once in a while report/survey that they mail in. If they dont report it, it doesn't get entered.

That plus what the poster above said.
