refueling stations

Where tanks fill

Refueling stations are places where vehicles stop to replenish fuel—gas stations for cars, charging stations for electric vehicles, or specialized facilities for aircraft and spacecraft.

The term emphasizes the act of refueling rather than the fuel type: The highway has refueling stations every fifty miles.

In science fiction, orbital refueling stations service interplanetary craft.
