Fuck short people, I guess.
I'm betting the idea was that it works without electricity.

Unless the fuel storage tanks are up that high, nope. You gotta pump it up there.

Yes, the tanks would be up there (why else build those huge saucers?)
The fuel truck can pump it up into those tanks using its engine.
