Fueling speed

While waiting for a plane to be refueled, I've often wondered how long it's going to take. While this certainly depends on the fuel quantity added, it also depends on the flow rate (product of the hose size and pump speed). My guess is that for commercial jets, the hose is somewhere between 4 and 6 inches in diameter. Can anyone fill in the other particulars?
