The term gas pump almost universally refers to the gasoline dispensers found at gas stations. All gas pumps have a nozzle with a trigger attached to the pump by a hose. Most modern gas pumps also have a credit card reader, receipt printer, LCD display, several buttons for navigating menus, and a few extra hoses for different fuel mixtures. The average gas pump is an upright rectangular plastic and metal box slightly over two meters tall with the aforementioned features on either side so that they can be used by two motorists at once. All of this is typically under a lighted canopy which provides protection from weather and illumination at night. They can meter out a specific amount of gas or pump until the tank is full. Gas pumps are one of the easily overlooked fundamentals of the modern world as they are a critical part of the transportation infrastructure. All internal combustion powered vehicles must frequent them and the vast majority of adults in developed nations will use one at least once a week.
For literal gas pumps see air compressor and for the engine component see fuel pump.
