How Long Can You Park in a Gas Station Parking Space?

[HaydenAnn]

There is no time limit for parking in the designated spaces. Gas stations fall under public road jurisdiction, allowing public vehicle access, and traffic police can penalize illegally parked vehicles within the premises. According to regulations, gas stations may designate parking spaces within their property boundaries, provided they do not obstruct normal traffic flow. Vehicles parked within these spaces are not considered illegally parked, whereas parking outside them constitutes a violation. Important refueling precautions include: 1. Avoid overfilling: In summer, high temperatures and the vehicle's own heat cause gasoline to expand. To prevent tank damage from fuel expansion, tanks are equipped with vent holes. 2. Refuel before the fuel light comes on: Monitor the fuel gauge while driving and refuel when it shows one-quarter remaining. Relying on the fuel light can harm the electric fuel pump, which relies on gasoline for lubrication and cooling. Frequent low-fuel conditions may shorten the pump's lifespan.
