Product Specification

FAW Sinotruk Shacman Dongfeng Foton 20 Cbm 6X2 20000L Oil Aircraft Refueling Vehicle 20000liters Aviation Helicopter Jet Refueler Dispensing Fuel Tank Truck

4×2 Aviation Fuel Refueling Truck

(Jet A-1 Airport Service Vehicle)

1. Functional Definition

The 4×2 Aviation Fuel Refueling Truck is a mobile fuel storage and controlled dispensing unit developed for apron-based aircraft refueling operations.

The vehicle integrates a certified tanker assembly, aviation-grade fuel transfer module, calibrated metering device, and pressure-controlled dispensing system to ensure safe and contamination-free delivery of aviation turbine fuel.

This configuration is particularly suitable for medium-scale airport fuel distribution, FBO operations, and regional aviation support fleets.
