How to map
Add the following tags to amenity=fuel, railway=fuel, waterway=fuel, aeroway=fuel, shop=fuel, substance=fuel to describe which fuels are available at that site. Use the locally appropriate octane rating system. Many countries use the RON formula. However, some countries like the United States instead use the AKI formula, denoted by (R+M)/2.
The tags are also used for amenity=bbq and man_made=kiln to describe the fuels used with the installed infrastructure.
| Sub type | Tagging | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| BBQ amenity=bbq | ||
| Wood | fuel=wood | Wood as a heat source |
| Electric | fuel=electric | Electric as a heat source |
| Charcoal | fuel=charcoal | Charcoal as a heat source |
| Diesel | ||
| Diesel | fuel:diesel=yes | Combustible liquid fuel used in combustion engines. Called "nafta" in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay and "bencina" in Chile. |
| GTL diesel | fuel:GTL_diesel=yes | High quality partly synthetic diesel made using the 'Gas To Liquid' method: "ultimate diesel", "V-Power diesel", etc. |
| HGV diesel | fuel:HGV_diesel=yes | High-output pumps with a larger nozzle that won't normally fit a motorcar fuel receptacle. |
| Bio diesel | fuel:biodiesel=yes | |
| Cold weather diesel | fuel:diesel:class2=yes | Diesel for colder weather climates (threshold filtration temperature -32 °С), on the EU EN590 scale, can be branded as Winter or Arctic diesel depending on the location. Class 2 appears to be widely sold in Scandinavia and the EEU, however you can replace 2 with 0 (down to -20 °С); 1 (-26 °С); 3 (-38 °С) and 4 (-44 °С). Note that there is a separate threshold for "winter" diesel (A-F, +5 to -20C) not covered by this tag, however similar syntax could be used |
| Untaxed diesel | fuel:taxfree_diesel=yes | Diesel fuel with few or no taxes, typically for agricultural, construction, or other off-road use. May be known by names such as agricultural diesel, off-road fuel, red diesel (from the dye used to mark it as untaxed), etc. |

| Octane 80 | fuel:octane_80=yes | |
| Octane 85 | fuel:octane_85=yes | |
| Octane 87 | fuel:octane_87=yes | Called "Magna" at Mexico |
| Octane 89 | fuel:octane_89=yes | |

| Biogas | fuel:biogas=yes | "SunGas(r)" |
| LPG | fuel:lpg=yes | Liquefied Petroleum Gas, liquid mixture 40% (summer) to 60% (winter) propane and balance butane. Other local names: de:Autogas, fr:GPL, Propane, it:GPL. In case of 95% propane and 5% Butan please add fuel:propane=yes |
| CNG (compressed natural gas) | fuel:cng=yes | Mainly methane compressed to 200-248 bars. Other local names: de:Erdgas, pt-BR:GNV, it:Metano |
| LNG (liquified natural gas) | fuel:lng=yes | LNG, GNL: much less common than LPG and CNG, but used in some places. Mostly methane content |
| Propane | fuel:propane=yes | Liquefied Petroleum Gas, liquid mixture 95% propane and balance butane as required for recreation vehicle appliances. |

| AdBlue/AUS32 | fuel:adblue=yes | 32.5% aqueous urea solution, widely known as AdBlue®. Used by modern trucks and some motorcars. pt-BR: ARLA 32 |
| AdBlue/AUS32 sold in canisters | fuel:adblue:canister=yes | Use for places where there is no AdBlue pump, but rather AdBlue is sold in canisters/other packaging, requiring manual handling and filling - this might not be suitable/convenient for some vehicles |
United States
Unleaded fuel in the United States is marketed as "regular", "mid-grade" or "plus", and "premium", both on monument signage and at the pump. However, if possible, you should tag a more specific octane rating (as fuel:octane_*=yes) instead of the grade. The octane rating for each grade is labeled on the pump next to the nozzle, usually on a bright yellow square. Some states mandate minimum octane ratings, but the actual octane rating being sold may be higher.
Despite the stated preference for RON octane ratings globally above, U.S. gas stations are almost exclusively tagged with AKI octane ratings, as of July 2019. RON octane ratings should not be tagged on U.S. gas stations because they are unverifiable: RON ratings are never posted or published in the U.S., and there is no one-to-one correspondence between the two formulas.
E85 gasoline (with an octane rating of 94–96) should be tagged fuel:e85=yes.
