Vending machine style petrol stations

Hi,
just to clarify these ref numbers.
Machines selling tickets usually have a ref number. If the machine is broken you can call the company and report that exact machine. If you happen to be in the subway without valid ticket and you can tell the ref number of the broken machine you won’t be fined.
Other ref numbers refer to automated parcel handling machines. You use the ref number to address your parcel to be picked up there.

So clearly something else an not suitable for your purpose.

How important is it to tag it as a fuel drum?

When you’re driving around and running low on petrol you won’t care about that, right?
The important information would be whether it’s open (opening_hours) and whether it serves the type of fuel you need.

If you want a “proper” or specific station you will select in your navigation system by operator/brand tag.

Thanks for the info about those machines.

The importance of those fuel drums can only be appreciated if you’re out of gas in a small rural Thailand town. I feel strongly that we need to tag these places. Even if driving a car, 4 or 5 liters of fuel will get you back on the highway and eventually to a full service station.
