  • the described standard type of filling stations needs a construction of subterranean tanks, inclusive necessary arrangements against fuel leakage and resulting contamination of ambient soil.
  • the system also needs a personnel to serve the station, at least at the cash desk. In most cases the stations operate the whole day through and therefore quite large staff is necessary.
  • Density of filling station network is often uneven and in some region a driver might get into trouble before reaching the nearest station. By a standard traffic such a situation could be anticipated and the driver would refill his tank in time. It is a quite different situation in a case when it is necessary to open a temporary station, e.g. at a diversion road, when a current filling station is not available or not accessible and the next one is far away. Such a problem cannot be satisfactory removed by current standard means.
  • the present stationary filling stations are not properly equipped for a case of fire within the station. A fire fighting squad has to be called but at the arrival of the team there is usually very little to do and the works concentrate upon the area surrounding the station.
