Aircraft fuel trucks — also known as refuelers or refueling vehicles — are specialized ground support vehicles designed to store, transport, and deliver aviation fuel directly to aircraft on the tarmac.

They play a critical role in airport ground operations, ensuring that planes are safely and efficiently refueled before each flight. The purpose of an aircraft fuel truck is to refuel aircraft without the need for a permanent hydrant fueling system. They carry fuel from airport storage tanks to aircraft parked on the apron or remote stands.

Types of Aircraft Fuel Trucks

Refueler Trucks:

Carry their own fuel tanks.

Common at smaller airports or for remote stands.

Hydrant Dispensers:

Don’t carry fuel themselves.

Connect to an underground hydrant fueling system at major airports. https://www.gserus.com/ »
