System and method for distributing fuel

A system for delivering fuel to a plurality of vehicles comprising:

• a distribution manifold having a plurality of outlets, said distribution manifold in fluidic communication with a fuel source, each of said plurality of outlets having an associated control valve for controlling fluid flow therethrough;
• a plurality of fuel lines, each of said plurality of fuel lines extending between an outlet of said distribution manifold and a vehicle;
• a plurality of tank valve assemblies in fluidic communication with one of said plurality of fuel lines each located at an inlet to a tank of one of said plurality of vehicles, each of said tank valve assembly being operable to shut off flow of fuel therethrough when said tank is filled to a predetermined level;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to said plurality of control valves wherein said controller is adapted to sequentially open at least one of said plurality of control valves at a time so as to supply fuel to the tanks in the plurality of vehicles in subsets less than the total number of vehicles at a time, after which fuel is supplied to a subsequent subset of the total number of vehicles.
