    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                               (Address of Maker)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Streicher Mobile Fueling, Inc. ("MAKER") promises, jointly
and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of General Electric Capital
Corporation or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a "PAYEE") at its office
located at 44 OLD RIDGEBURY ROAD, DANBURY, CT 06810 or at such other place as
Payee or the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum of           DOLLARS
($   ), with interest unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and
including the dates of payment, at a fixed, simple interest rate of     Percent
(   %) per annum, to be paid in lawful money of the United States, in Sixty (60)
consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest of Dollars ($    )
each ("PERIODIC INSTALLMENT") and a final installment which shall be in the
amount of the total outstanding principal and interest. The first Periodic
Installment shall be due and payable on                   And the following
Periodic Installments and the final installment shall be due and payable on the
same day of each succeeding period (each, a "PAYMENT DATE").

All payments shall be applied first to interest then to principal. The
acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all
amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee's
right to receive payment in full as such time or at any prior or subsequent
time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year (366) day leap
year). The payment of any Periodic Installment prior to its due date shall
result in a corresponding increase in the portion of the Periodic Installment
credited to the remaining unpaid principal balance.

The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is
actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related
documents pertaining hereto.

This Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge
agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a "SECURITY
AGREEMENT.")

Time is of the essence hereof. If any installment or any other sum due under
this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after
its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such
installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the
amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum.
If (I) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten (10)
days after the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) Maker is in default, or
fails to perform, under any term or condition contained in any Security
Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all
accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any
Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and
payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum
or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such
accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment).

The Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder
upon payment of an additional sum as a premium equal to the following
percentages of the original principal balance for the indicated Period:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                                                                             <C>            <C> 
Prior to the first annual anniversary date of this Note:                        five percent   (5%)
Thereafter and prior to the second annual anniversary date of this Note:        four percent   (4%)
Thereafter and prior to the third annual anniversary date of this Note:         three percent  (3%)
Thereafter and prior to the fourth annual  anniversary  date of this Note:      two percent    (2%)
Thereafter and prior to the fifth annual anniversary date of this Note:         one percent    (1%)
</TABLE>

and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or under any
Security Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties thereto to comply with the applicable usury
laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note or
any Security Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess
interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security
Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under
any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or
received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal balance
shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in
such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b)
neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the
payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the
extend that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be
either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded
to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest
shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under
applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction
thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all
calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under
this Note or any Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of
determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be
made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated
term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with
such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is
amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state
law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater interest per
annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective
date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum
hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by
the amended state law or the law or the United States of America.

The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such
person, other than the Maker, an "Obligor") who may at any time become liable
for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all
extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of and all substitutions
or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this
Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision or either, which may be
made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and
maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee without
joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required
first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to
enforce payment of this Note. The Maker and each Obligor hereby waives
presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as
well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this
Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by
law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee's actual attorney's
fees. Maker and each Obligor agrees that fees not in excess of twenty percent
(20%) of the amount then due shall be deemed reasonable.
