FUELING
The total fuel capacity for the 787-8 is 33,528 U.S. gallons (126,917 liters). A fueling control panel is installed in the left wing only. The left wing has a fueling panel with two receptacles, each rated for 500 U.S. gallons per minute (1,893 liters per minute) at 55 pounds per square inch (psi) gauge (379 kilopascal).
Any standard fuel truck (i.e., hydrant/tanker) with the appropriate length fuel line that can reach the 787-8 receptacles can be used. Fuel receptacle ground height for the 787-8 and other Boeing airplanes is shown in figure 7.
