Aircraft fuel trucks, also known as refuellers, are specialized vehicles designed to transport and dispense aviation fuel to aircraft. They play a crucial role in airport ground operations, ensuring aircraft receive the correct type and amount of fuel efficiently and safely. • Types of Aircraft Fuel Trucks: • Fuel Tanker Trucks: • Large fuel trucks that transport aviation fuel from storage facilities to aircraft. • Equipped with high-capacity fuel tanks (ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 gallons). • Used mainly at large airports for refueling commercial jets. • Hydrant Dispensers: • Smaller vehicles that connect to an underground hydrant system at airports. • Do not carry fuel but pump it from airport fuel farms through a hydrant system. • Common at major airports with centralized fuel infrastructure.
Key Features of Aircraft Fuel Trucks: • ✔ Fuel Filtration Systems – To ensure clean, contaminant-free fuel.✔ High-Pressure Pumps – For rapid and efficient fueling.✔ Safety Valves & Emergency Shutoffs – To prevent spills and fires.✔ Metering Systems – To measure the exact amount of fuel delivered. • Types of Aviation Fuel: • Jet A / Jet A-1 (Used for commercial and military jet aircraft) • Avgas (Aviation Gasoline) (Used for piston-engine aircraft) • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) (Eco-friendly alternative fuel)
