### Stopping to Refuel

When taking a long trip, you will eventually need to pull into a gas station (**benzinăria**). To say "to refuel" in Romanian, use the verb **a alimenta**. Once there, look for an available pump (**pompa**).

### Choosing Your Fuel

Next, select the correct fuel (**combustibilul**)—pay close attention to whether your car takes gasoline (**benzina**) or diesel (**motorina**)! To fill up, grab the hose (**furtunul**) and insert it into the tank (**rezervorul**).

### Under the Hood

While stopped, it's a good time for routine checks. You might open the hood (**capota**) to check the oil, or check the tire pressure (**presiunea**) before getting back on the road.
