- Have you ever wondered how aircraft are refueled? Today I'll be showing you exactly that, by giving you the POV of an aircraft fueler. The Boeing 737 is a reliable plane that survived the test of time, so it's a great plane to learn about.
Large international airports typically use a hydrant fueling system, where fuel is pumped through pipes in the ground. An aircraft fueler connects to this pipe using a hydrant nozzle, and then proceeds to connect to the aircraft. The fueling truck acts as a big regulator of pressure, filter and pump.
While fueling, the fueler has to pay a lot of attention to the panel, pressure gauges and areas around the aircraft.

Working in water utilities, i really enjoyed this vid. Never realized you guys do all this at the airport!
I fuel American 737s at DFW and we only put 8300 lbs in the wings so it’s interesting that you fill them up completely
