Many people have no idea of the complexities of the delivery systems on an 
airport Jet Fuel tanker truck.  It is much more efficient to take the fuel 
to a jet than to move the jet to a fueling station.

These trucks have pumps and hoses to deliver fuel through fueling nozzles to 
individual aircraft fuel tanks, or through pressurized locking nozzles for 
single point refueling of larger planes.  

The Olympus XA captured the working parts on film:
