Abstract

An improved portable fueling facility for aircraft or ground vehicles includes, in the disclosed embodiments, at least one storage tank, an outer tank for providing secondary containment about the storage tank, a number of saddle members for supporting the outer tank on a flat horizontal surface, and a pump for dispensing fuel. In one embodiment, a system is provided for suppressing combustion that might otherwise occur within the storage tank. To minimize heat transfer from outside the facility into the storage tank, fire-retardant insulation material may be positioned between the storage tank and the outer tank. The system also includes an environmentally controlled compartment for housing an electronic control system.
