How to Refuel at a Gas Station for Beginners?
2 Answers
Novice drivers can judge by the remaining fuel level or remaining driving range displayed on their dashboard. When the remaining fuel reaches one-quarter or the remaining driving range is 200 kilometers, they can proceed to a gas station for refueling. Below is relevant information about car refueling: 1. Refueling locations and methods: In the car, you can turn on the navigation system or use a mobile navigation app to search for nearby gas stations and then navigate to them. 2. Payment process for first-time refueling: Usually, when a car owner enters a gas station, there will be staff available to assist with refueling. The car owner can directly tell the staff the type of gasoline (e.g., octane rating) and the amount of money they want to spend on fuel, then hand over the cash to the staff. Some gas stations also support mobile payments. If the car owner has a fuel card, they can insert it into the fuel dispenser and enter the password. 3. Precautions: When refueling at a gas station, car owners should pay special attention to turning off the engine before refueling, and avoid smoking or making phone calls inside the gas station to prevent explosions and ensure personal safety.
As a first-time refueling newbie, I remember being super nervous! Before driving to the gas station, I checked nearby stations' prices and ratings on my map app to choose a reliable one. Upon arrival, don't rush to park—find an available pump spot and slowly pull in. Remember to turn off the engine, headlights, and phone for safety. Before exiting, check your fuel tank cap position and open it. Approach the pump, select the fuel grade like 92 or 95, and press the screen button to confirm. Lift the nozzle, insert it into the tank, press the trigger to start fueling, and wait patiently until it stops automatically or fills up. After refueling, return the nozzle and securely close the tank cap. Then head inside to pay—I usually use WeChat or Alipay QR codes for super-fast payment while grabbing a receipt. When leaving, ensure the engine starts safely before driving off. The whole process takes just minutes, and you'll master it with practice!
