I never saw a red refueling truck or jeep. They were all OD Green. The Air Force might have had red refueling trucks but I never was on a big airfield for large Air Force airbase.
I've posted many red refueling trucks https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2024/06/p-82-twin-mustang-with-great-variety-of.html https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2024/02/check-out-paint-job-on-that-fuel-truck.html al the Texaco trucks were red https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/04/new-zealanders-steve-and-sue-keys-have.html Standard Oil were red https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/04/great-old-fuel-tankers.html
I only have a photo, and guesses, no information. It looks like either a grounding wire (super safety item for fueling process) or winch, because its on a Jeep front bumper, , or search light based on shape, laying randomly on the front bumper like it was tossed there, facing the passenger side grill/fender
Marc just found a high res version of this image, I added it to the post, that front bumper thing is now easy to see, it's an air tank and hose for pumping up tires
I did a Google image search and found that Ewillys posted the picture in 2016. They say it was from St. Petersburg, FL https://www.ewillys.com/2016/12/13/standard-oil-modified-cj-2a-for-aviation-refills/

oh hell, you mean on base! Right... not likely to be red on base
DeleteIs that an intentional grounding wire at the front? And what's that on the front bumper? Great diorama potential here.

thank you! I rarely think to research photos like this.
