Additional data
The gas station is an assembly consisting of a filling station and most of them an adjacent building.
A power station is the most common installation that distributes fuels and lubricants or electricity, usually for vehicles. The most common types of fuels currently marketed at such stations are gasoline, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas. In the case of electricity distribution, the name is the charging station. A charging station sells only electricity, and a typical (classic) power station can also be called a fuel, gas station and so on.
At such stations, fuel dispensers are used to transfer fuel to vehicles and to calculate the financial cost of the quantity transferred to it. These distributors are also known by various names, such as petrol pumps or gas pumps. Most power stations are built in a similar manner, with most of the power plant located underground, with fuel pumps on the inside perimeter and with a service point inside a subterranean building. Fuel tanks – either single or multiple – are usually located underground. Local regulations and environmental concerns in an area, related to the environment, may require some stations to keep fuel in tanks or surface tanks .
In the building adjacent to a filling station, you can pay the bill for the fuel loaded from the pump. In these spaces you can buy a lot of other products, the space being similar to a small supermarket where you can find besides products for cars and food, drinks or books. At the same time, this space is equipped with a toilet.
In popular culture many people refer to petrol stations, generally using the name PECO. PECO is an abbreviation for Ethnic Products with Octane Number and was the abbreviation used by the chain of petrol stations on the territory of Romania between 1954 – 1990. In fact, PECO was one of the first successful Romanian brands and was, for 4 decades, the only gas station chain, the only manufacturer and distributor of vehicle oils and lubricants
