Yup, definitely, pretty certain we see her connect the fuel line as he prepares to fire up the engines.
It’s a clever system, that appears to be relatively compact, if a little heavy. I wonder how many litres he has onboard, at take off?
He has five jets under the floor, each with 100 lbs maximum thrust. They are going to be using a lot of juice. Given that he usually is travelling at just over 100 mph, he should do the crossing in about 12 to 15 minutes if he could do in one hop, but he has to stop half way to change fuel bladders. The pity is that it was such a poor coverage, a feat like that really deserved a much better television coverage.
