INDUSTRYNEWS Airport Commemorates B-17 Pilot Through New Fuel System U-Fuel installs an advanced "Box" fuel station at the Lee County-Butters Field Airport (52J) in Bishopville, SC. U-Fuel's patented Box systems represent the state-of-the-art in self-service aviation fuel stations, placing all critical components and the fuel tank within a strong, fire-resistant panel enclosure, providing a high level of fire safety and isolation from the environment. Preengineered and pre-fabricated, these systems can be easily trucked to an airport and installed within a few days. They are available as single- or two-product systems with tank capacities from 1,000 to 10,000 gallons. "An airport without fuel is at a disadvantage for based and transient traffic. U-Fuel systems give our customers 24 hour access to fuel without an employee overhead," says Lee County Airport Manager George Roberts. "Our county officials like the facility over a truck system with its limited hours of service, the manpower needed for a trained driver and the liability associated with a fuel truck. Furthermore, the U-Fuel system exceeds the requirement for a complex and costly Storm Water Emergency Plan. The combined advantages of the U-Fuel system makes my job as an airport manager easier."
