This is probably the kind of trough that's meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_trough, detailed image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_trough#/media/File:Cat....

If you "think away" the actual trough and keep only the liquid, you get the cuboid that the text is referring to.

The kind of trough imagined in the article is actually precedented - although to replenish water and not fuel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_pan
