The hose processing device 12 has a hose processing unit (not shown) formed therein, for example, in which a hose reel is stored, and three hoses for supplying a plurality of oil types wound around the hose reel and stored. Refueling hose 1
5 a, 15 b, and 15 c are suspended from slit-shaped holes 16 formed in the lower portion of the hose processing device 12.
Refueling nozzles 17a, 17b, and 17c are provided at the ends of these three refueling hoses 15a, 15b, and 15c, respectively. On the upstream side, for example, a plurality of oil types for supplying high octane, regular, and light oil, respectively. It is connected to the refueling mechanism. The refueling nozzles 17a, 17b, 1
In the vicinity of 7c, a switch box for raising and lowering the hose is provided.

The indicator 13 is disposed at the other end of the substrate 11 near the outlet of the gas station site 1 so that its display surface is easy to see from the oiling area 2 below the hose treatment device 12.
