Filler-up...do you want water with that? Our motto, "you call we haul." Whether its beans, bullets, band-aids or fuel we deliver to your front door or in this case to your tank. We even hand-out free water to keep the guys hydrated and ready for the mission. In this picture we are an improvised gas station. What you do not see is aircraft #2 acting as a second gas pump just behind my aircraft. Just like back in the states the vehicles drive-up, and we top-em-off with fuel and water and send them on their way. In this case we had several vehicles lined up waiting for the next available pump. Too bad our credit card machine was broken - we could have made a lot of money on this stop...maybe next time. When the vehicles are topped-off we start back up and fly to the next stop. Not a bad days work if I say so myself. Have a good week.

So I know every state is different. For example, in PA you pump your own gas, but in NJ, there are station exmployees that pump your gas. So my question is this, do you pump the gas, or do the tank drivers do it? Also, other than water and gas, do you check and change the wipers? Kick the tires (or in the tanks case, kick the tracks), check the oil, etc? If one of the guys needs a bathroom break, do you have the bathroom key on a brick, like they do back here in the states?
Well, I think that just about covers my questions, when it comes to international fueling.
