Filling station
A filling station/gas station is a facility which sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles. The most common fuels sold in the 2010s are gasoline (''gasoline'' or ''gas'' in the U.S. and Canada, generally ''petrol'' elsewhere), diesel fuel, and less commonly, electric energy. A filling station that sells only electric energy is also known as a charging station, while a typical filling station can also be known as a fuelling station, garage (South Africa and United Kingdom), gasbar (Canada), gas station (United States and Canada), petrol pump or petrol bunk (India), petrol garage, petrol station (Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and United Kingdom), service station (Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom), a services (United Kingdom),〔http://think.direct.gov.uk/fatigue.html United Kingdom road safety THINK program: (Fatigue ), Video reference: 0:09-0:15 ''"Before you feel too tired, pull off into a Services or other safe area."''〕 or servo (Australia).
Fuel dispensers are used to pump petrol/gasoline, diesel, CNG, CGH2, HCNG, LPG, LH2, ethanol fuel, biofuels like biodiesel, kerosene, or other types of fuel into the tanks within vehicles and calculate the financial cost of the fuel transferred to the vehicle. Fuel dispensers are also known as bowsers (in some parts of Australia), petrol pumps (in most Commonwealth countries) or gas pumps (in North America).
Many filling stations also combine small convenience stores selling candy, soda pop, snacks and, in some cases, a small selection of grocery items. Some also sell propane or butane and have added shops to their primary business. Conversely, some chain stores, such as supermarkets, discount superstores, warehouse clubs, or traditional convenience stores, have provided filling stations on the premises.
==Terminology==
The term "gas station" is widely used in the United States, Canada and the English-speaking Caribbean, where the fuel is known as "gasoline" or "gas" as in "gas pump". In some regions of Canada, the term "''gas bar''" is used. Elsewhere in the English-speaking world, mainly in the Commonwealth, the fuel is known as "petrol", and the term "petrol station" or "petrol pump" is used. In the United Kingdom and South Africa "garage" is still commonly used. Similarly, in Australia, the term "service station" ("servo") describes any petrol station. In Japanese English, it is called a "''gasoline stand''". In Indian English, it is called a ''petrol pump'' or a ''petrol bunk''. In some regions of America and Australia, many filling stations have a mechanic on duty, but this is uncommon in other parts of the world.
