Further to this, it is sometimes delivered to the aircraft by a further hydrant system. A small mobile pump and metering unit is plugged into a pipe on the pan and the fuel pumped into the aircraft. This means that large fuel bowsers do not have to drive around the airport and, as you point out, this would be more than 1 for a 747!
