Fuel for thought

Bristol’s Royal Portbury Dock imported its ten millionth tonne of jet fuel in mid-November. Aviation fuel is transported by large product carriers from Kuwait and stored in tanks, before being moved onwards by the GPSS (Government Pipelines and Storage System) pipeline to London Heathrow. The fuel goes to Q8Aviation’s customers at Heathrow and other airports across the UK.
