The Hidden Journey: How Fuel Travels from Refinery to Pump and Plane
In short: How refined fuels travel from refinery to forecourt and airport through shared pipelines, terminals, tankers, rail and trucks, and why each batch is tested along the way.
A 2:03 short film in the series “How Things Work”, narrated by intellect_voice_01.
