The hydrant cart is solar powered and needs no gas or diesel to operate to refuel the plane.  It pumps 400 gallons/minute into the plane’s three tanks for a total of 5,567 gallons.    Alaska Airlines is the first among major airlines to announce their support for a statewide Clean Fuel Standard in Washington.  At a press conference earlier Friday morning, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee joins elected and community leaders at the airport to call on the state to pass Clean Fuels Standard legislation.
