Fuel delivery system and method

1. A fuel delivery system for fuel delivery to multiple pieces of equipment at a work site, comprising:

a fuel source comprising one or more manifolds, the one or more manifolds being connectable to a fuel supply;

each manifold of the one or more manifolds having multiple fuel outlets, each fuel outlet of the multiple fuel outlets having a hose connection;

plural hoses, each hose having a first end and a second end and being connected at the first end of the hose to a corresponding one of the multiple fuel outlets and having a fuel delivery connection at the second end of the hose for securing the second end of the hose to a corresponding one of the multiple pieces of equipment to which fuel is to be delivered;

an electrically operable valve responsive to electronic control signals on each fuel outlet;

a sensor associated with each combination of fuel outlet, hose and fuel delivery connection, each sensor being configured to detect a low fuel condition associated with each of the multiple pieces of equipment to which fuel is to be delivered;

a controller responsive to signals supplied from each sensor through respective communication channels, the controller being configured to provide control signals to open and close the respective electrically operable valves; and

in which the controller is responsive to the detection of the low fuel condition, to display an indication of the low fuel condition or to open at least one of the electrically operable valves for each of the multiple pieces of equipment that is associated with the low fuel condition.

2. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the one or more manifolds comprises more than one manifold.

3. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the controller is configured to log fuel requirements of each piece of the multiple pieces of equipment being fueled.

4. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 further comprising at least a first pressure gauge associated with each fuel outlet.

5. The fuel delivery system of claim 4 in which the at least a first pressure gauge associated with each fuel outlet is located upstream of the electrically operable valve and a second pressure gauge associated with each fuel outlet is located downstream of the electrically operable valve.

6. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 further comprising a valve on each fuel outlet for controlling flow from the fuel outlet that is manually operable.

7. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 set up for delivery of fuel at a well site during fracturing of a well.

8. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the controller being responsive to the detection of the low fuel condition further comprises displaying an indication of the low fuel condition for each of the multiple pieces of equipment when the piece of equipment is associated with the low fuel condition.

9. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the controller is configured to allow an operator to provide control signals to open and close the respective electrically operable valves.

10. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the controller is responsive to a low fuel level signal representative of the low fuel condition of each one of the multiple pieces of equipment to which fuel is to be delivered to start fuel flow to the one of the multiple pieces of equipment independently of flow to other pieces of equipment.

11. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which the controller is responsive to a high fuel level signal from each one of the multiple pieces of equipment to which fuel is to be delivered to stop fuel flow to the one of the multiple pieces of equipment independently of flow to other pieces of equipment.

12. The fuel delivery system of claim 1 in which each fuel delivery connection comprises a cap for a fuel tank on each one of the multiple pieces of equipment to which fuel is to be delivered.
