Abstract:
1. A system for remote fueling, comprising: a wellbore servicing equipment unit comprising an internal combustion engine; a trailer on which the wellbore servicing equipment unit is mounted during transportation to a wellbore and during servicing of the wellbore; a first fuel tank coupled to the trailer, the first fuel tank to provide fuel to the internal combustion engine; a first fuel distribution channel to flow fuel from a remote end of the first fuel distribution channel to an opposite end of the first fuel distribution channel, wherein the opposite end of the first fuel distribution channel is coupled to the first fuel tank; a first fuel level sensor component coupled to the first fuel tank to sense a fuel level inside the first fuel tank; a first fuel level indicator to indicate to remote fueling personnel at a standoff distance a fuel level status of the first fuel tank; and a fuel level indicator control box coupled to the first fuel level indicator and to the first fuel level sensor component, wherein the fuel level indicator control box commands the indication presented by the first fuel level indicator based on the fuel level inside the first fuel tank sensed by the first fuel level sensor component.
