petrol pumps

Gas station equipment

Petrol pumps are the machines at filling stations that dispense fuel into vehicles—called gas pumps in American English.

The term is British and appears in contexts describing refueling: We stopped at the petrol pumps before leaving town.

By extension, petrol pump can refer to the filling station itself.
