A system for accurately measuring and delivering a predetermined amount of
fuel to a vehicle for a specified mission. This system rapidly refuels
vehicles to a specific wet vehicle weight. The fuel loading value is
determined based upon an algorithm, which accounts for interactions of
mission duration, and/or mission payload weight, and/or mission
environmental effects. The fuel loading is accomplished by using one or
more measuring tubes with a floating valve, which precludes the continued
flow of fuel into the tank when the predetermined amount of fuel is
delivered. The measuring tubes can be of specific lengths each
corresponding to an output of the algorithm or a single telescoping tube
that enables varying the length of the tube. Each unique tube length
corresponding to a unique output of the algorithm. An alternative system
comprises different sized fuel bladders. These systems enable a rapid
foolproof method of refueling.
