Anyone on here hauling Jet fuel or Avgas 100LL

Some have tank farms fed and supported by pipeline.

Some have tanker trucks feeding airports.

Some airports rely on gate underground connections to fuel aircraft. Others truck the fuel to aircraft and process payment etc for some depending on who is being fueled and how much.

I don't haul it but have some knowledge from previous flying time long ago.

 

Fresno CA gets their Jet A from San Jose or Las Angles by truck. SJ and SF have a pipline.

 

I might actually be in the next several months. My company wants me trained on fuel after asphalt season is over, and they are very eager to get me running aviation fuel south into the US. I hear it's the gravy-est of gravy runs.

 

We in Little Rock sit at the end of 5 pipelines from Hammond, Baytown, Houston and two other sources I'll have to leave off. North Little Rock has a farm and Av Gas and all sorts of other goodies come out on Tanker trucks by the hour on US 70 near the Petro. Endless flow. What a rack. What tanks etc.

When Katrina came, we lost 4 of those 5 pipelines. But what we had was enough to stand akimbo and laugh at the storm while going on buying gas etc.

 

Smaller airports get fuel delivery by tanker trucks. Larger airports get jet-a fuel via pipeline. I suspect 100LL is only delivered by truck. In Asia & Africa 100LL is less available and there are now diesel-powered aircraft since Jet-A is so widely available. I pumped aviation fuel into airliners, business jets, and small aircraft during college. At one airport we trucked fuel to the plane. At another we used underground hydrant delivery at the boarding gate.

 

Which aircraft are running diesel?

 

Look up the airport FBO (Fixed base operator) at whatever airport and just call them. The smaller operations will have their own tank farm and the Line Manager should be able to tell you who runs the trucks. Just be up front with the line manager that you are looking for hauling work so they don’t think you are just some strange caller.

As other posts said, large airports will have fuel delivery with a pipeline. On the upside some large airports will employ Hazmat CDL drivers to fuel large aircraft. It depends on if they have in ground fuel pumps at the gates.

Jet fuel especially the military kind is very close to kerosene .......
