A system for delivering fuel to a fuel tank of a wheeled vehicle, the system comprising:
- a receiver coupled in liquid communication with a fuel tank of the vehicle, the receiver defining X, Y and Z axes;
- a nozzle coupled in liquid communication with a fuel source, the nozzle defining X′, Y′ and Z′ axes;
- interactive alignment structure for aligning the Z and Z′ axes and mating the nozzle with the receiver for fuel delivery in response to movement of the receiver along the X-axis and the nozzle along the Y′ and Z′ axes;
- and
- a brake assembly comprising a pad having a normal flexible character for receiving one of the wheels of the vehicle and a substantially rigid character for capturing one of the wheels of the vehicle for holding the vehicle at a fixed position along the X-axis.
