- Malaysia basically adopts a self-service refueling method. Before refueling, you need to go to the cashier to prepay the bill, tell the staff which gas station you want to go to and what grade of gasoline you need to fill, and then return to the gas pump to refuel yourself.
- For self-service refueling, you only need to know how to identify different fuel guns and avoid refueling with the wrong fuel.
