It accommodates 300 gallons of gasoline, 75 gallons of oil and 25 of water. Special pumps and an air compressor are driven by a power take-off from the truck’s transmission. By dispensing all fuels at the same time, it takes about three minutes to refucl an airplane com- pletely as compared with 30 to 40 minutes by ordinary methods of pumping. Park’s pump shoots about 20 gallons of gasoline a minute into a plancs tank. T . . .
