refuelable

Accepts more fuel

Refuelable describes something that can have its fuel supply replenished.

The term distinguishes vehicles or devices designed for repeated refueling from those with sealed or single-use power sources: a refuelable hydrogen car, refuelable lighters versus disposable ones.

In aerospace, refuelable satellites can extend their operational life through in-orbit servicing.
