Transportable service station

A service station configured to be transportable over a predetermined roadway or by water, the service station comprising:

• an amphibious base having a top surface, a hull, two lateral sides, a front face, a rear face, and a hollow interior;
• a tank disposed on the base, and, defining a tank interior configured to contain a liquid fuel having at least a flammability rating of 2 under the U.S. Government Hazardous Materials Identification Standards, the tank further configured to comply with U.S. Government requirements for transportation of such liquid fuel over a roadway;
• a pump disposed on the base in fluid communication with at least a portion of the interior of the tank accessible to the liquid fuel and configured to dispense the liquid fuel to supply one or more types of vehicles;
• a fill pipe configured for refilling the tank, the fill pipe designed and constructed to minimize risk of fuel spillage during fueling operations and when the tank is involved in a crash;
• and
• wherein the base is configured to displace a volume of water so as to render the service station buoyant in water.

An amphibious service station configured to be transported over waterways or roadways, the service station comprising:

• a base configured for use on land and water, wherein the base is buoyant;
• a tank disposed on the base, and, defining a tank interior configured to contain a liquid fuel having at least a flammability rating of 2 under the U.S. Government Hazardous Materials Identification Standards, the tank further configured to comply with U.S. Government requirements for transportation of such liquid fuel over the predetermined roadway;
• a pump disposed on the base in fluid communication with at least a portion of the interior of the tank accessible to the liquid fuel and configured to dispense the liquid fuel to supply one or more types of vehicles,
• a power supply;
• an anchor;
• and
• an axle assembly coupled to the base proximate the stern and having at least one wheel, the at least one wheel and axle assembly moveable between an engaged position and a stored position, such that when positioned in the engaged position the at least one wheel is in contact with a surface of a roadway and partially supports the base over the surface so that the base may be transported over the predetermined roadway using the at least one wheel, and when positioned in the stored position the base may be rested on the surface.
