Abstract: A remote fuel station designed for fuelling of equipment in potentially hazardous situations such as in mines comprises an enclosed container that is adapted to receive a fuel tank or bladder and which includes a containment volume capable of holding the entire contents of the tank or bladder in the event of rupture of the latter. The station also includes a door arrangement adapted to effectively seal the interior to cut off air supply if a fire should develop, and also includes a sprinkler system or a chemical fire suppressant arrangement.
