Planes aren't ever fully filled, though, not even close. Planes are filled with just about the exact amount of fuel they need for each flight ; refuelled at landing point.
They're never fully filled due to... duh... an accident.
I have a very good friend who is this exact trade ; he fuels the airplanes. He works at the Calgary International Airport. They don't take anywhere near what you think. Just because it CAN CARRY that much, doesn't mean it ever does.
And, lol... my wife just so happens to be a fuel truck driver, and she delivers fuel to the airport in our city, and the capital city's airport - only about 90kms away.
I could actually post her drop numbers from those two spots, but she'd probably lose her job if anyone found out.
Oh, and "jet fuel" is actually kerosene. Not the same shit that goes into space rockets. Kerosene is non explosive and burns at a lot lower temp that gas.
