Abstract
A distribution station includes a mobile trailer and a delivery system. The delivery system includes a pump, a manifold fluidly connected with the pump, reels, hoses, valves situated between the manifold and a respective different one of the hoses, and fluid level sensors. There is also an additive injector fluidly connected with the delivery system and operable to introduce controlled amounts of an additive into the delivery system.

A distribution station comprising:
- a mobile trailer;
- a delivery system including,
- a pump;
- a manifold connected with the pump;
- reels connected with the manifold;
- hoses connected, respectively, with the reels;
- valves, each said valve being situated between the manifold and a respective different one of the hoses;
- fluid level sensors, each said fluid level sensor being associated with a respective different one of the hoses;
- and
- an injection system including a controller and an additive injector connected with the delivery system, the controller configured to adjust an amount of an additive that the additive injector introduces into a fluid flowing in the delivery system as the delivery system dispenses the fluid from at least one of the hoses.
