Can Gas Stations Refuel Generators?
2 Answers
Gas stations do not refuel generators. Generally, only vehicles can be refueled at gas stations. Vehicle owners can draw some fuel from their own tanks and add it themselves. A gas station is a service station for cars and other motor vehicles, retailing gasoline and engine oil, typically providing fuel oil, lubricants, etc. Here are some parking precautions: 1. No parking in areas with no-parking signs: No-parking signs indicate that within the specified range, all vehicles are prohibited from parking temporarily or for an extended period. 2. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason. They are commonly seen at intersections, entrances, and exits. 3. Yellow solid lines: Roads with yellow solid lines prohibit parking. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the size of the no-parking zone. 4. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, fire hydrants, etc.
Last time I went camping with a generator to the gas station, the staff immediately waved their hands and said they couldn't refuel the machine directly. Later, I learned that gas stations have strict regulations requiring the use of dedicated fuel cans. Now I always prepare in advance with a metal fuel can that has a pressure relief valve, and the 10-liter capacity is the most practical. Remember to ground the metal can first when filling it with 92-octane gasoline, as gasoline vapor is particularly prone to accidents when encountering static electricity. After the fuel gun clicks off, tighten the lid securely and use straps to secure it during transport to prevent shaking. Gas stations will only refuel when they see a compliant metal can, so this is something everyone should pay attention to.
