refueling stop
Tank-filling pause midway
A refueling stop is a pause in a journey to replenish fuel.
The term applies to vehicles, aircraft, or spacecraft that must take on fuel before continuing: We made a refueling stop in Iceland on the way to London.
Informally, it can mean any brief stop for sustenance during travel: The diner was just a refueling stop before the last leg of the trip.
