taginfo: fuel:* |
Keys beginning with the prefix fuel:*=* indicate which types of fuel are available at a amenity=fuel, railway=fuel, waterway=fuel, aeroway=fuel, or shop=fuel. The keys without namespace are also used on amenity=bbq and man_made=kiln to describe the fuels used with the installed infrastructure, or to clarify the type of fuel indicated by substance=fuel or content=fuel.
How to map
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.
Note that presence of some tags with yes value, such as fuel:octane_80=yes + fuel:octane_98=yes does not say anything about presence of other fuels[1]
To indicate that all available fuels are mapped people used fuel:others=no to mark that nothing else is available but this tag is fairly rare.

Diesel s10 | fuel:diesel_s10=yes | Diesel with a specified limited amount of sulfur (10mg/kg), used in Brazil. Usually tagged as fuel:diesel=yes as this is the default in many regions, including the EU.
Also in use are the tags fuel:diesel_s10_comum=yes for the pure and fuel:diesel_s10_aditivado=yes for the variant with additives. |
|
Diesel s500 | fuel:diesel_s500=yes | Diesel with a limited (but comparably large) amount of sulfur of up to 500 mg/kg, used in Brazil.

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, since the octane rating of "regular" will vary from gas station to gas station. The octane rating for each grade is labelled on the pump, on a bright yellow square affixed to the nozzle or nearby, as required by federal regulation. [1]
Octane ratings are measured according to the AKI formula; the RON rating used in other countries is an unverifiable trade secret, and there is no one-to-one correspondence between the two formulas. Some states mandate minimum octane ratings, but the actual octane rating being sold may be higher.
E85 gasoline (with an octane rating of 94–96) should be tagged fuel:e85=yes.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 According to this warning label above the nozzles at left, the 88-octane fuel in blue is E15, and the flex fuel in yellow has 51–83% ethanol content, which is better known as E85 fuel.
- ↑ Should the octane number of an alternative fuel be tagged explicitly, as if it were a standard unleaded fuel?
