A fueling station is a facility that sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles. Fuel dispensers are used to pump gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, CGH2, HCNG, LPG, liquid hydrogen, kerosene, alcohol fuel (like methanol, ethanol, butanol, propanol), biofuels (like straight vegetable oil, biodiesel), or other types of fuel into the tanks within vehicles and calculate the financial cost of the fuel transferred to the vehicle.
Retail Outlet (RO): Retail outlet means a building or a part of a building or a clearly defined space on a plot used for the retail sale of lubricating oils and gasolines for motorized vehicles
Auto LPG Dispensing Station (ALDS): A premises used for storing and dispensing Auto LPG as automotive fuel to the motor vehicles. Auto Gas (LPG) is a clean, high octane, abundant and eco-friendly fuel. It is obtained from natural gas through fractionation and from crude oil through refining.
Compressed Natural Gas Station: CNG Station” means the filling station where one or more dispensing units are provided for sale of compressed natural gas. The expression “CNG Station” includes CNG Mother Station, CNG Online Station and CNG Daughter Booster Station.
Liquefied Natural Gas Station: LNG stations are structurally similar to gasoline and diesel stations because they all deliver a liquid fuel. There are three options for LNG fueling: mobile, containerized, and permanent large stations. In mobile fueling, LNG is delivered by a tanker truck that has on-board metering and dispensing equipment. A starter station, or containerized station, includes a storage tank, dispensing equipment, metering, and required containment. A permanent station has greater storage capacity and is tailored to meet fleets’ needs.
Aviation Fueling Station: Aviation Fuel Station (AFS) is a facility to store and transport aviation fuel to aircrafts. Aviation fuel is stored in tanks from where it is filled in refuellers. These refuellers are sent to the airport for filling the fuel in the aircraft. Location of such AFS is usually near airports for easy access and timely supply. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperature, among other properties.
