fuel depot

Petroleum storage facility

A fuel depot is a facility for storing and distributing fuel in bulk quantities.

Military fuel depots supply vehicles, aircraft, and equipment in the field.

Commercial depots serve gas stations, airports, or industrial operations.

The term emphasizes storage capacity and distribution function rather than retail sale: The convoy stopped at the fuel depot to refuel before crossing the desert.
