That speaks of someone in a huge rush. Would barely allow for a restroom stop.
Most airside GA bowsers are capped at 40 litres/min (although there are some quicker ones around). That means loading 263 litres would take around 6.5 minutes, not including hose out and back plus reciept printing/reading the instructions/untangling oneself from the bonding reel leaving less than 2 minutes to get on and off the runway.

So, yep, even with a high-flow (80l/min) pump that's one heck of a rush! And certainly no time at all for runups!!
