Fuelling station
Facility for dispensing coal or oil for vehicles and power plants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For modern automobile facilities, see Filling station.
Fuelling stations, also known as coaling stations, are repositories of fuel (initially coal and later oil) that have been located to service commercial and naval vessels. Today, the term "coaling station" can also refer to coal storage and feeding units in fossil-fuel power stations.[citation needed]
