Refueling Boeing 737 MAX 8

[@alessandrovisconi1079]

Fascinating to see a POV video of this operation

[@MetalTeamster]

Good chance I put the first fuel on that aircraft. I was a boeing fueler. Nice fuel truck . We had older stuff. Good vid!

[@BogWraith1]

Great to see how this is done. I half expected the guy as he presented the receipt to say "Will that be Visa or cash!" 😉

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

Fueling planes is almost as easy as fueling your car.

[@Libby-ss1de]

if you know what your doing that is @@robertsmith-zz7ot

[@fabrizio737]

why visa and not Mastercard?

[@meme-od2vs]

Instead of dragging the whole length of the hose , the truck could be parked parallel to the wing at the back .

[@kattn01]

It's easier to just drive straight in and out. No maneuvering. Also you're potentially blocking other ramp staff that need access to the aft cargo compt.

I was half paying attention for a bit, then realized that it was a Flair and a tail # I just fueled 2 days ago lmao

Amazing video

[@wu2u]

love this video. Did this for 39 years and it was such an incredible career.

[@rukhsanabibi3836]

Hi 🙋‍♂️ there is this a easy job ? and do you get good payed for it ?

[@c.i.o.belley168]

Hi ali, do you leave your hanger hanging when you roll it up....? 😱

[@Cat-tu9oy]

awesome video

[@SergChannel47]

Hi! Why don't you grounding the tanker?

[@eyan_official]

keep 'em coming

[@alyn7d7]

Too kool. I would love to have a job like that. ❤

[@williamshockley7692]

Talk to *_Allied Aviation_* in San Antonio, TX. They're currently hiring aircraft fuelers .

[@Cessna152ful]

it's a rough job i'll tell you that much. especially in arizona

[@bigboy0625]

Thats 1 weird looking truck !!

[@alleycatvietnam]

@2:24 Well that's a new idea groung the aircraft @ the fuel panel. Usually. the ground is on the main landing gear. Former Fueler @ KSFO mostly wide-body aircraft.

[@Tonylovesjazz]

Agree. It speeds the up the process. However, it also introduces clutter. Clutter is less safe. Thanks for the video. Nice Job. 👍🏼

[@georgeeaves219]

Most of your smaller CRJ and e170-190 ground out at the panel

[@alleycatvietnam]

@@georgeeaves219 Thanks most if not all fueling was on wide bodies DC-10- 747-767-777-A340

[@MetalTeamster]

I noticed that as well. I was a Boeing fueler in Renton, Wa. I put the fuel on around 200 737 max

[@Funk8_4]

How did you get around wearing (what I assume) a gopro? I'd probably get tackled

[@CptSchmidt]

Probably should blur the door access codes :P

[@bigboy0625]

It's nothing top secret

[@AlexM2299]

How many times can you fill a plane before you gotta go fill up? Thanks for the video!

[@bahenbihen]

Transport category airplanes are refueled before every flight in 99% of cases due to weight

[@jerrycarroll4581]

Please narrate as you and show screens, dials, gauges and switches close up. Thanks.

[@Valentin_MeL]

That crooked cabels may rubs against the concrete while car is moving. Not a good thing for them in long tearms.

[@slowchevy]

Surprised to see no wheel chocks being used.

[@Kasi11]

There are chocks, they are just small

[@armoredgaming2352]

Why do you bond it inside the fueling panel instead of inside the landing gear bay? Never seen anyone do it like that before

[@alial-faesly2902]

Keeps everything in one place, faster setup and takedown. I do the same with Embraer jets.

[@armoredgaming2352]

@@alial-faesly2902 I guess it varies from company to company. We aren't allowed to do that here

[@Libby-ss1de]

What is that yellow thing you attatched under the wing

[@hoaxial2090]

Him grounding the fuel truck to the plane.

[@telosfd]

So, gallons or liters!

[@williamshockley7692]

Neither, likely If he's performing this job in Canada, then it's probably in kilograms. You should watch the documentary on the *_in_*_ famous_ Canadian Gimli Glider incident. Math can truly save lives !

[@olhickory6420]

I'm saying most people that work at this so they can smell the fuel there addicted to smelling it

[@lkjhcasual]

а где крышка?

[@lazersharkaviation]

Was this at YOW?

[@MrPeugeot306xsi]

yes

[@bendavies6545]

how much fuel is pumped there?

[@Kasi11]

It can carry up to around 19 tons

[@anonyfamous42]

The cable is for static electricity ?

[@ralph29203]

yup

[@smiteaccount666]

No, it’s a dead man’s switch

[@EvansThePunk]

both. One is the deadman (black) and the other the ground/bound cable (yellow)​@@smiteaccount666

[@TheJmich2001]

is the thing on the long wire a dead mans switch?

[@smiteaccount666]

Yes it is. Gotta keep pressing it or it stops pumping

[@dog_house875]

Is this Winnipeg?

[@smiteaccount666]

Looks like Ontario to me

[@kamaro13q.n-lakste90]

My job !

[@Alunatic77]

Great vid, max should have been retired and the company focusing less on the bean counters and more towards ground up next gen craft. Shame.

[@Mark-os6ej]

737 were my favorite plane to fuel. Only issue is we had to do it in Manuel an watch it, but itd go twice as fast compared to the airbuses👎🏾.

[@Rebel_808]

I’d hate airbuses when all tanks including both ACTs needed to be full, talk about longest fueling yet. I swear, it was faster to pump a 767 with 10k gallons of fuel, than a a321 with 4k gallons of fuel.

[@JayYjaygang]

Hated the airbuses they always turned off on me😂👎🏽

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

727s fueled really fast too. You really had to eyeball the gauges.

[@RobSS1113]

There's only one spot where southwest wants that ground cable and it ain't where you put it LOL.

[@armoredgaming2352]

i feel you, those airbuses take 6 dark ages to fuel. at my local airport, for example, a lot of transatlantic flights have been switched from a wide body over to the a321neo for fuel efficiency. most of them are taking around 6000-7000 gallons. it takes so ridiculously long to finish fueling them. boeing, although having major publicity issues now, are much better to fuel. depending on the truck, most a321s fuel at around 190-240 gpm. compare that to a 737 which fuels at 400 gpm, or a 777 at 800 gpm. the difference is insane!

[@ON-YT]

Yyz or Yyc

[@monkmodemalik8225]

Why don’t you connect the anti static cable to the main fuselage near the landing gear then it’s out of your way.

[@s.i.m.c.a]

coz there are instructions and special place for it, it's not sure if landing gear on 737 Max electrically connected to the whole plane.

[@monkmodemalik8225]

@@s.i.m.c.a yes there is an approved grounding point on the 737 max behind the landing gear on the fuselage. In the video it’s a trip hazard

[@davidsmiths5471]

​@@s.i.m.c.a Why would Boeing change a grounding point for one series of the same aircraft???

[@falconwings]

Because you want your conductivity path as close as you can to the point of static transfer to prevent arching.

[@monkmodemalik8225]

@@falconwings wrong, the bonding cable is insulated so can’t arc

[@davidsmiths5471]

So who's fault is it when your backing out without a guide,and you get hit!

[@bazvink]

We’re all gonna just ignore the toilet paper in the cabin huh?

[@Graham.556]

I think its receipt paper
