Abstract: An equipment service apparatus, which is suited for use in servicing ground support equipment (GSE) or aircraft ground equipment (AGE), includes a plurality of features for use in servicing and maintaining the GSE/AGE where the GSE/AGE is in use servicing an aircraft so that the GSE/AGE is not itself required to be transported to a remote location for servicing and/or maintenance. The apparatus may be constructed as a towable cart. The apparatus may include a fuel tank, a pump system configured to add fuel to or remove fuel from the fuel tank, and a fuel valve assembly operable to control fuel flow into and out of the fuel tank. The apparatus may also include a container storage portion configured to retain a plurality of removable fluid storage containers, at least one power source, and a power control system operable to control power from the at least one power source to operate at least some features of the equipment service apparatus.

Abstract: A tank assembly including a tank, a lid, and an actuator assembly. The tank defines a tank volume and has an opening defined therein. The lid is sized to cover the opening in sealing engagement with the tank. The actuator assembly includes a first actuator arrangement and a second actuator arrangement. The first actuator arrangement is configured to move the lid into and out of sealing engagement with the tank. The second actuator arrangement is configured to move the lid between a first position in alignment with the opening, and a second position removed from alignment with the opening to permit access into the opening.
