taginfo: fuel:*

information sign

This page describes a key prefix rather than a simple key.

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

Gasoline/petrol is preferably tagged by octane rating; when mapping, use the numerical ratings as displayed at the fuel pump, elsewhere at the fuel station, or as dictated by an applicable government or industry standard. In most countries this will be the Research Octane Number (RON). However, some countries—particularly Canada, the United States, and Mexico—use the arithmetic mean of RON and Motor Octane Number (MON), typically denoted "(R M)/2" or "AKI" (Anti-Knock Index). Do not extrapolate a gasoline's RON or (R M)/2 rating: there is no one-to-one correspondence between the two rating systems, and conversions between them are generally unverifiable.

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.


Sub type Tagging Remark Taginfo

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.
Diesel B0 fuel:diesel_b0=yes Pure diesel fuel without any renewable components. In Europe usually explicitly marked as such for special purposes.
Diesel B7 fuel:diesel_b7=yes Diesel with up to 7% content of renewable components, the common diesel type in the EU. Usually tagged as fuel:diesel=yes
Diesel B10 fuel:diesel_b10=yes Diesel with an increased amount of renewable components, up to 10%, available in the EU
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. fuel:diesel_S10=yes with a capital letter is also in use.

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.

Also in use are the tags fuel:diesel_s500_comum=yes for the pure and fuel:diesel_s500_aditivado=yes for the variant with additives.

Bio diesel fuel:biodiesel=yes Diesel made from renewable sources, e.g. vegetable oil. Often marked as "XTL", "HVO", "HVO100" or "B100"
Cold weather diesel fuel:diesel:class2=yes [ dubious ] Diesel for colder weather climates (with a threshold filtration temperature of −32 °C), on the EU EN590 scale. Can be branded as "winter diesel", "Arctic diesel", "diesel −32 °C", etc., depending on the location. Class 2 appears to be the most widely sold variety in Scandinavia and the EEU, however you can replace the "2" in fuel:diesel:class2=yes with 0 (to describe diesel with a threshold filtration temperature down to −20 °C); 1 (−26 °C); 3 (−38 °C) and 4 (−44 °C).

Note that there is a separate threshold for milder, "winter" diesel (A–F, 5 to −20 °C) not covered by this tag, however similar syntax could be used

United States

Unleaded fuel in the United States is typically 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 ratings (as fuel:octane_*=yes), since the octane ratings of "regular", "mid-grade" and "premium" grades may 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. 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.

Notes

  1. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2023-April/067213.html
  2. 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.
  3. Should the octane number of an alternative fuel be tagged explicitly, as if it were a standard unleaded fuel?
