It would have been a quarter-mile walk back to the FBO.

Interesting. The trucks with which I'm familiar use a PTO to run the pump. They
never shut the engine off when fueling.

I'd complain to the FBO about the "hassles" and be glad that you could push
back and get away..
good thing it was not a 12,000# King Air.

That's not so bad. At the Hickory airshow a few years back, we had to move
a DC-3, so the Connie could leave, and they didn't have anything handy to
move it. We got some Explorers, and pushed it out of the way, with the
tailwheel in the grass, even!

Not something I would want to do on a regular basis! g
