Differing approaches to tagging vending machines for motor fuel dispensing have caused confusion

Update: The Thailand Community decided to use shop=fuel for drummed fuel shops and amenity=vending_machine + vending=fuel for vending machines. We made this choice because these fuel categories have very limited capacity, availability, and are not very convenient for most motorcar users. These tags are already supported by end-user applications like OsmAnd. It’s important to note that this decision doesn’t clash with the current wiki definitions.

I think it’s a good time to wrap up this discussion. As you can see, every country has its own way of doing things, which makes it tough to find a single global consensus on this topic. But I want to give a big shout-out to everyone for sharing their thoughts and ideas. Your global input means a lot to us!
