How to Fuel a B737 | AirportSim

See how simple it is to fuel a B737. Using Airport Sim, available for purchase on Steam, you'll see how to setup the fueling equipment, calculate how much fuel to add to the center fuel tank and more.

Learn about Ship Numbers and why we use them. Why we connect the truck to the aircraft with a Grounding cable. Why one wing tank fills up quicker than the other fuel tank. What are the wing tank fuel limits? What is one limiting factor of the B737 fueling system other aircraft types do not have? Also a bonus brief introduction to fueling the Airbus A320.
