1. Filling station

A filling station (also called a Gas Station, Petrol Station, or Service Station) is a place where vehicles refuel with gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other fuels. Some modern stations also offer electric vehicle (EV) charging.

  • No smoking or open flames near fuel pumps.
  • Turn off your engine while refueling.
  • Do not use a mobile phone near pumps (static electricity risk).
  • Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
  • How to Use a Filling Station:
    • Drive to the pump that has the fuel type you need.
    • Turn off your engine before refueling.
    • Select the fuel type and start pumping (or ask an attendant).
    • Pay after refueling (before or after, depending on the station).
    • Check tire pressure or clean your windshield if needed.
