Many people have no idea of the complexities of the delivery systems on an
airport Jet Fuel tanker truck. It is much more efficient to take the fuel to a
jet than to move the jet to a fueling station.
These trucks have pumps and hoses to deliver fuel through fueling nozzles to
individual aircraft fuel tanks, or through pressurized locking nozzles for
single point refueling of larger planes.
