Does it make ultra low sulphur? Can you drive up and say filler up?if not you are in same boat as any but with a chance of a terror attack target.
Some old refineries had places workers could fuel…. now all gone due to saftey…Yeah I know where deisel and jet a and b and gas pre ethanol blended can’t take it out of the tanks easy it has a 24 inch main valve that is hydraulic opened. Once we had to manual it was a 3 day show with a giant mess.
Not like you can tap a simple on off spigot or go through the vent lines or hatches ( pressure and suffocation) it won’t even blow up.just smothers out all the o2
There are filling stations if it’s a tanker port but which one of you has a 6 to.8 inch receiver for the flow it’s like a water cannon can fill a fuel truck in 10 MIn
There used to be fills.in the maintance yard but those are mainly gone for new explosion proof fuel cells. Fuel fuel everywhere not a drop to use.
If you had to would take a refuel truck fill it with right stuff or mixed, the tanker trucks have compartments. Full to rI’m or you have sway issues and take that as there is an emergancy 4 inch hand valve at bottom you can drain the compartments with.
