ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fueling system which uses a tank vehicle similar to or the same as those used for jets to rapidly and efficiently refuel trucks and other land motor vehicles. The truck driver parks his truck in a designated vehicle fueling station, gives the station attendant the station identifier, and arranges for payment. The station attendant then radios a tank vehicle operator. The tank vehicle operator takes a tank vehicle to the corresponding station and refuels the truck. The amount of time required to refuel the truck is dramatically reduced from one hour to approximately ten minutes. The driver has the option of returning to the road immediately or enjoying the amenities of a driver respite area. The driver can eat, sleep, or shower. The driver may also have his vehicle washed or repaired. When the driver is ready to leave, he is given a metered record detailing the amount of fuel delivered.
